IE5 efficiency with synchronous reluctance technology reduces electrical losses and heat, delivering meaningful energy savings in continuous-duty drives. The business impact is lower operating costs and cooler motor operation, which extends bearing life and reduces cooling requirements on the line. This is ideal for conveyors and pumps in 50 Hz networks where cycle profiles favor high efficiency and reduced energy waste. The 11 kW, 4-pole, 690 V configuration provides robust torque characteristics and grid compatibility for demanding line applications, enabling smoother starts and reliable operation in automated systems. IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation enhance reliability in dusty or humid environments, minimizing unplanned downtime and maintenance intervals. Cast-iron frame size 160, with bearings 6309-2Z/C3, offers rugged support for vibration-heavy applications and long service life in OEM machinery and packaging lines. IMB35/IM2001 mounting compatibility simplifies installation on existing equipment and OEM builds, reducing alignment time and installation costs. The S9 duty rating confirms suitability for steady, heavy-load operation, supporting predictable performance in continuous-process scenarios while keeping maintenance needs manageable.

FAQs
The motor is designed for 690 V, 50 Hz operation with a Y (star) connection configuration. It uses IMB35/IM2001 mounting and a cast-iron frame sized 160, which simplifies replacement and retrofit into existing equipment. Verify ambient temperature up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, then align the terminator box at the D-End top for straightforward wiring and compliant installation on standard drives.
In typical drive scenarios, you can expect high efficiency characteristic of IE5 SynRM motors, with strong torque at start and smooth speed control in 4-pole configurations. The 11 kW rating suits conveyors, pumps, and fans, delivering energy savings under steady loads. The Y connection and 690 V supply support clean, grid-friendly operation with reliable protection and predictable performance over a wide operating envelope.
Yes. The IP55 enclosure protects against dust ingress and water spray, enabling operation in harsh factory settings. Combined with IC411 insulation and a robust cast-iron frame, the motor maintains reliability in humid or dusty environments and under continuous duty. The Elevation and ambient conditions (up to 40 °C and 1000 m) are considered in the design, ensuring stable performance on the plant floor.
Key compliance features include IP55 protection, IC411 insulation class, and S9 duty rating suitable for continuous operation in factory environments. The motor is designed for 690 V, 50 Hz operation with a 4-pole configuration and cast-iron frame, ensuring robust mechanical integrity. Customs tariff code 85015230 is listed for cross-border procurement, and the product aligns with ABB EcoSolutions initiatives.
The ROI is driven by energy savings from IE5 efficiency and reduced thermal load on drives, which lowers electrical consumption and cooling costs. Maintenance is simplified by a rugged IP55-rated enclosure and durable bearings (6309-2Z/C3) with a long service life. The 4-pole SynRM design also minimizes mechanical wear, contributing to lower downtime and predictable uptime in production lines.
