FAQs
This motor uses the IMB5/IM3001 mounting standard and matches frame size 160. It supports a 4-pole, Y-connected configuration at 400 V, making it a straightforward retrofit or new-install option for existing ABB drive systems. The design minimizes alignment challenges and reduces commissioning time while preserving mounting footprint consistency with legacy equipment.
At 50 Hz, the motor delivers 11 kW with IE5 efficiency; full-load efficiency is 93.6%, with 75% and 50% load efficiencies of 93.2% and 91.8%, respectively. At 60 Hz, full-load efficiency is 93.0%, with 75% and 50% load efficiencies of 92.6% and 91.3%. These figures support stable, energy-conscious operation across regional power profiles.
Yes. The motor carries an IP55 enclosure rating, which provides robust protection against dust ingress and water spray. This makes it suitable for outdoor installations, dusty production lines, and other challenging environments, reducing the need for excessive enclosure complexity or extra protective measures.
Key ratings include IP55 ingress protection and IC411 insulation class. The IE5 efficiency rating confirms top-tier motor performance, while the device supports 50 Hz and 60 Hz operation. The product also aligns with ABB EcoSolutions and provides an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for synchronous reluctance motors.
The IE5 SynRM design delivers meaningful energy savings over legacy motors, reducing operating costs and cooling load. The robust IMB5 mounting and cast-iron frame support longer service intervals and easier maintenance. Combined with local stock (Menden, Germany) and ABB’s EcoSolutions, stakeholders typically see accelerated payback on upgrading to this model.
