IE5 efficiency translates to tangible energy savings across daily operation for 15 kW motors. The business impact is lower energy bills, cooler running temperatures, and reduced cooling requirements in conveyors and pumps. IP55 protection and a durable cast iron frame protect against dust and moisture, reducing unplanned downtime in harsh factory environments. Installation advantages include IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility and a robust bearing setup that supports long service life. The D connection and 4-pole design combined with 160 frame size enable straightforward retrofit into standard motor bases and adjustable VFDs. These features simplify integration with existing drives and wiring, and support quick commissioning. With insulation class ICLF and a dependable temperature rating, the motor stays reliable under moderate ambient temperatures. The 380 V 50 Hz supply aligns with common regional drives, supporting consistent performance. ABB EcoSolutions and the Environmental Product Declaration demonstrate a sustainability-focused option for green automation projects. The combination of energy efficiency, durable construction, and ABB support reduces total cost of ownership. For OEMs and integrators, these motors offer predictable performance, quick spare parts access, and long-term service availability.

FAQs
Plan for a 380 V, 50 Hz supply with a four-pole design and a D connection. Use IMB5 or IM3001 mounting and a frame 160 footprint; verify the 681 mm depth and 421 mm height when selecting a base and enclosure. Ensure proper cable sizing, drive compatibility, and a soft-start sequence to protect the IE5 SynRM rotor from inrush. Confirm IP55 protection in dusty or humid environments and schedule periodic bearing checks to maximize service life.
At full load the motor delivers about 95.2% efficiency. At partial loads, efficiency remains high: approximately 95.3% at 75% load and around 95.0% at 50% load. This stability minimizes energy losses across operating points, improving overall system efficiency for conveyors, pumps, and fans in mixed-load applications.
Yes. The 15 kW, IP55-rated SynRM motor with IMB5/IM3001 mounting and 4-pole design is well-suited for conveyors, pumps, and fans in packaging and process environments. Its robust cast-iron frame, ICFL insulation, and 380 V supply align with standard industrial drive systems, while IE5 efficiency supports ongoing energy reduction and regulatory compliance goals.
The motor provides IE5 efficiency, IP55 enclosure protection, and ICFL insulation. It supports IMB5/IM3001 mounting and 4-pole operation, with a 380 V, 50 Hz electrical profile. The design also aligns with standard mechanical and electrical safety expectations for industrial automation, and ABB EcoSolutions considerations further support sustainability and regulatory compliance in modern factories.
The anticipated ROI stems from energy savings due to IE5 efficiency, reduced cooling needs, and longer bearing life from robust IMB5/IM3001 mounting. Fewer downtime events result in higher overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Maintenance intervals are extended due to durable cast-iron construction and Icfl insulation, while ABB support and availability of spare parts help minimize total cost of ownership over the motor’s lifecycle.
