IE5 efficiency class with SynRM technology reduces energy consumption in continuous-running drives, cutting operating costs on conveyors and packaging lines. This combination translates to measurable savings at full load and partial loads, especially in duty cycles typical of material handling. The 11 kW, 4-pole design operates at 400V 50Hz, aligning with standard industrial power distribution and delivering robust torque and predictable speed control for demanding applications such as packaging, printing, and process conveyors. IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation enhance reliability in dusty or moist environments, reducing unplanned downtime and extending service intervals in manufacturing floors and automated warehouses. The cast iron frame size 160 with IMB5/IM3001 mounting provides a rugged foundation for long-term operation, simplifying installation in new builds or retrofit projects and improving alignment with existing ABB drive systems. The D-connection configuration supports safe and straightforward integration with 400V 3-phase supplies, while altitude up to 1000 m and ambient temperatures up to 40°C broaden installation options across plant sites. Net weight of 177 kg and compact 681 mm length help manage space and lifting requirements during installation in tight equipment rooms.
