FAQs
The motor is configured for a Y (star) connection suitable for 500 V line voltage. This allows each phase to see a phase-to-neutral voltage aligned with standard industrial 3-phase power. Ensure correct terminal sequencing and protective devices, and verify compatibility with your drive or VFD controller to maintain balanced phase loads and optimal torque behavior.
The motor uses IE5 efficiency with full-load efficiency around 93.6%. At partial loads, the data indicates approximately 93.2% efficiency at 75% load and about 91.8% at 50% load. These figures translate to meaningful energy savings in variable-duty applications like conveyors, pumps, and fans compared with older IE classes.
Yes. It features an IP55 enclosure for dust and water protection, a robust 4-pole design, IMB3/IM1001 mounting, and a cast-iron frame (160) with durable bearings (6309/C3). The ambient temperature rating of up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m further support its use on demanding production floors and outdoor or semi-outdoor installations.
The motor carries IC411 insulation with IP55 protection and IMB3/IM1001 mounting. It aligns with WEEE category for large equipment and is supported by ABB EcoSolutions. An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is available for synchronous reluctance motors in the 7.5 kW–45 kW range, aiding sustainability reporting and green procurement initiatives.
The SynRM design reduces energy losses, contributing to lower operating costs. Rugged bearings (6309/C3) and a cast-iron frame support longer service intervals and reduced maintenance. The combination of high IE5 efficiency, durable enclosure, and robust mounting translates to faster payback on energy bills and lower lifecycle ownership costs in high-duty industrial environments.
