IE5 efficiency with SynRM technology: energy savings and enhanced torque density for 11 kW drives. The business impact is lower operating costs and cooler motor temperatures, extending bearing life and reducing downtime. Applications include pumps, fans, conveyors, and mixed-load lines in automated manufacturing environments, benefiting from smoother speed control and improved reliability. The cast-iron frame (160) paired with IP55 protection enables dependable operation in dirty, damp, and high-temperature environments, reducing enclosure-related failures and maintenance needs. Installation and integration are simplified by a Delta (D) connection, 380 V, 50 Hz supply, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting, allowing rapid retrofits with standard drives and PLCs. Long-term reliability is supported by IC411 insulation and robust bearing configurations (6309/C3, 6209/C3), minimizing unplanned downtime. ABB EcoSolutions and an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) reinforce sustainability goals while maintaining performance.

FAQs
The motor is designed for 380 V, 50 Hz operation with a Delta (D) connection. Use the IMB5/IM3001 mounting scheme and a 160 frame size to match the existing footprint. Ensure correct shaft alignment and torque transmission, then integrate with standard drive controllers and PLCs. Verify IP55 enclosure integrity in dusty or damp environments and perform a basic insulation check to confirm IC411 compatibility before commissioning.
Key specifications include 11 kW output, 380 V input, 50 Hz frequency, 4 poles, IP55 protection, frame size 160, and ICFL insulation. It uses a D connection and is mounted with IMB5/IM3001. Duty is S9, with a 1000 m altitude limit and 40 °C ambient operating temperature. Bearings are 6309/C3 and 6209/C3 for robust life in challenging conditions.
Yes. The IP55 enclosure provides protection against dust and water ingress, while the cast-iron frame and IC411 insulation support reliable operation in challenging environments. Its 1000 m altitude tolerance and 40 °C ambient rating further ensure consistent performance on conveyors, fans, and other automated line equipment without frequent enclosure servicing.
The motor features IE5 efficiency, IP55 protection, and IC411 insulation. It carries a Finnish origin and is associated with ABB EcoSolutions and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for synchronous reluctance motors. Standard classifications include UNSPSC 26101100, highlighting its fit for industrial automation procurement and compliance programs.
Choosing the IE5 SynRM motor delivers measurable energy savings due to high efficiency, reducing operating costs on continuous-duty loads. Downtime is minimized through a robust bearing arrangement (6309/C3 and 6209/C3) and IP55 protection, extending maintenance intervals. Retrofit compatibility with existing drives and PLCs further lowers total cost of ownership during machine life.
