Feature → Business Impact → Application IE5 efficiency class and SynRM rotor design reduces electrical losses, improving full-load and partial-load efficiency (IE Class IE5; 93.7% at 100% load, 94.0% at 75% load, 93.7% at 50% depending on frequency) which translates to lower energy bills and cooler running temperatures. In continuous operation, this supports longer motor life and reduced cooling requirements in conveyors and pumps. Application: production lines with constant or variable speed, where energy costs are a primary concern. IP55 enclosure combined with IC411 insulation protects the motor in dusty or humid environments up to 40 °C, enabling reliable operation on outdoor conveyors, packaging lines, and machine tools without costly added housings. Application: harsh factory floors and outdoor installations that demand robust protection and temperature tolerance. Cast iron frame size 160 and 4-pole design deliver mechanical rigidity and predictable torque characteristics, minimizing vibration and enabling straightforward gear or belt drive integration. Business impact: enhanced downtime reduction and smoother transmission of power to drives in packaging and processing equipment. Application: load-sharing systems requiring stable performance under varying torque demands. IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility reduces installation time and ensures secure, standards-compliant attachment to common baseplates and mounting frames. Business impact: faster commissioning, fewer field adaptation costs, and improved serviceability. Application: turnkey retrofits and new line installs where rapid deployment matters. Stocked at Menden, Germany and shipped with 11 kW, 400 V, 50 Hz specifications, the motor pairs with standard industrial controls and soft starters for easy integration into existing motor control centers. Business impact: minimized procurement lead times and simplified spare parts management. Application: regional maintenance planning and just-in-time inventory strategies. Eco-friendly features include ABB EcoSolutions and an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for synchronous reluctance motors, helping manufacturers meet sustainability targets and regulatory reporting. Application: green manufacturing programs and regulator-approved sustainability disclosures.

FAQs
This motor uses a Y connection, is mounted with IMB5/IM3001 fittings, and fits frame size 160. Plan for 681 mm length, 421 mm height, and 338 mm width, with a 1000 m altitude rating and 40 °C ambient limit. Ensure baseplate compatibility, proper shaft alignment, and adequate ventilation for optimal IE5 performance.
IE5 SynRM motors deliver lower electrical losses across full and partial loads, yielding measurable energy savings and cooler operation. For 11 kW at 400 V and 50 Hz, efficiency remains high at 100%, 75%, and 50% load—translating to reduced energy bills and improved uptime in continuous-duty drives such as conveyors and pumps.
Yes. With IP55 protection and IC411 insulation, the motor is designed for dusty or moist environments and up to 40 °C ambient conditions. The 4-pole design and cast iron frame provide robustness for machine tools, packaging lines, and other industrial equipment operating under challenging conditions.
The motor meets CE requirements, IP55 protection, and IC411 insulation class. It is part of ABB's EcoSolutions program and is supported by an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for synchronous reluctance motors, aligning with sustainability and regulatory reporting needs.
Energy efficiency reduces operating costs over the motor’s life, while high reliability and robust mounting simplify maintenance planning. The IMB5/IM3001 compatibility minimizes installation time and downtime, and the stock availability in Europe enables faster procurement and service intervals, contributing to a lower TCO for machinery across packaging, conveyors, and processing lines.
