Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 11 kW, 690 V three-phase synchronous reluctance motor delivers high efficiency across operating points, reducing energy consumption and cooling load while maintaining consistent torque for conveyors, pumps, and fans. This translates to lower operating costs and improved system reliability in continuous-duty applications. Application: Ideal for material handling lines and process equipment where frequent start/stop cycles occur, enabling predictable performance with reduced energy bills. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP55 enclosure protects internal electronics against dust and water ingress, extending motor life in dusty or washdown environments and minimizing maintenance downtime. Application: Suitable for outdoor or factory-floor installations near damp or particulate-rich zones. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cast iron frame and 681–421 mm net dimensions offer robust rigidity and vibration damping, enabling stable operation on heavy conveyors and AGV support systems. Application: Appropriate for heavy-duty packaging lines and material transfer systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Y-configuration wiring and 4-pole design deliver reliable start-up behavior and smooth speed regulation with standard VFDs, reducing installation risk. Application: Works well with common 690 V drives for fans and pumps. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IE4 efficiency and documented partial-load performance (75%) around 93.7% support energy savings during partial-load operation, improving overall plant energy metrics. Application: Useful for processes with variable load profiles, such as mixers or centrifuges. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility simplifies retrofits and new installations by aligning with common ABB mounting standards, lowering installation time and spare parts requirements. Application: Quick swaps in upgrade projects for aging motors on production lines.

FAQs
The motor uses a 3-phase Y connection with a 690 V input at 50 Hz and is rated for IP55 protection. For reliable startup, connect through a suitable 690 V VFD or soft starter, ensure proper motor ground, and follow the manufacturer’s torque ramp and thermal protection settings. Verify mounting (IMB5/IM3001) and ensure alignment with the drive’s control scheme to minimize inrush and thermal stress.
The data indicates IE4 efficiency with Full Load (100%) efficiency around 93.4% and Partial Load (75%) around 93.7% and Partial Load (50%) around 93.4%. These figures translate to meaningful energy savings in duty cycles with variable loading, improving overall energy metrics for conveyors, pumps, and fans in manufacturing environments.
Yes. The motor features IP55 protection and a cast-iron frame, designed to withstand dust, moisture, and mechanical vibration typical of conveyors and material-handling equipment. Its IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility simplifies installation and retrofit into existing ABB platforms, reducing downtime during upgrades.
Key specifications include IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, and environmental declarations (EPD) with ABB EcoSolutions endorsement. While CE markings are not explicitly listed in the data, these features support compliance in many regional markets for heavy industrial motors and align with standard industrial practice for safe, energy-efficient operation.
Expected ROI derives from energy savings due to IE4/IE5-classled efficiency, reduced heat load, and potential maintenance reductions from robust cast-iron construction and long bearing life (6309/C3 bearings). When paired with a modern drive, duty-cycle optimization, and preventive maintenance, customers typically see lower kWh costs and higher equipment availability over the motor’s service life.
