Feature IE5 efficiency delivers real business impact by reducing energy consumption across full-load and partial-load conditions, translating into lower operating costs for conveyors, pumps, and fans. Application: ideal for continuous operation in manufacturing lines at 50 Hz and 500 V supply, with a measurable drop in heat generation and cooling requirements. The result is improved system reliability and reduced chiller or ambient cooling load, enabling tighter facility energy budgets and longer motor life. Feature IP55 enclosure protects the drive under dusty or damp shop-floor conditions, decreasing field service calls and extending uptime for critical processes. Application: suitable for harsh production environments such as material handling and packaging where ingress protection is essential. Feature 4-pole synchronous design offers predictable torque and robust speed regulation, enhancing process control. Application: supports precision control in extrusion, pump, and conveyor systems with tight speed tolerances. Feature Cast-iron frame (160) and robust bearings (6309/C3) provide durability in high-vibration installations. Application: ensures long service intervals in lines with frequent start/stop cycles and heavy loads. Feature IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility and a star (Y) connection simplify OEM integration and retrofit projects. Application: reduces installation complexity, shortens commissioning times, and improves interoperability with existing ABB drives and controls. Feature Operating envelope includes ambient 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, plus S9 duty rating. Application: enables reliable operation in a wide range of plant locations and ensures continuous performance under demanding production schedules.

FAQs
This motor is configured for Y connection and IMB3/IM1001 mounting on a 160 frame. It uses a cast-iron enclosure and fits standard ABB drive systems. With a D-End top terminator box and IMB3 mounting, it installs quickly in 4-pole, 50 Hz, 500 V circuits, while IP55 protects against dust and water ingress.
The motor meets IE5 efficiency with Full-Load (100%) efficiency around 93.7% and 75% load around 94.0%. It operates under S9 duty, suitable for continuous operation at elevated ambient temperatures up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, providing reliable performance in demanding industrial profiles.
Yes. The IP55 enclosure rating protects against dust and water ingress, making it appropriate for dusty plant floors and conveyor lines. Its 4-pole SynRM design delivers stable torque and speed control, while the cast-iron frame supports durability under typical conveyor vibration and start/stop cycles.
Key standards reflected in this motor include IP55 enclosure protection and IC Insulation Class ICF, supporting reliable performance in harsh environments. The IE5 efficiency rating confirms high energy performance, with 50 Hz operation and 500 V input. The combination of these ratings aligns with common EU market expectations and system safety requirements.
IE5 SynRM motors offer reduced energy losses, translating to lower annual energy bills for continuous-duty applications. The robust cast-iron frame, reliable bearings, and low cooling needs reduce maintenance and service downtime. ROI depends on load profile, but the combination of energy savings and lower thermal stress typically yields noticeable payback over the motor’s life.
