IE5 class efficiency translates into meaningful operating-cost reductions for continuous-duty drivers such as pumps, fans, and conveyors. The SynRM design delivers full-load efficiency around 96.3%, with stable performance at 75% and 50% loads (about 96.3% and 96.1%). This directly lowers energy consumption and heat rejection in demanding plants, enabling cooler operation and longer component life. In practice, those gains compound across year-long production cycles, improving overall equipment effectiveness and reducing utility bills while maintaining consistent torque delivery. Ex ec explosion protection ensures safe use in hazardous areas, reducing risk and simplifying compliance for chemical, oil, and mining facilities. The motor features Ex ec protection, Gas Group IIC, and a robust IP55 enclosure, enabling installation in zones where ignition sources must be controlled. This combination supports safer maintenance, fewer special-case adaptations, and faster project implementation. IP55 protection and IMB3/IM1001 mounting simplify field installation and serviceability. The 4-pole design, cast-iron frame, and frame size 225 provide a durable platform that fits standard ABB drive trains and mounting footprints, reducing commissioning time and eliminating the need for costly adapters. Reliability is further enhanced by high-quality bearings (6313/C3 and 6212/C3) that withstand vibration and ambient heat. Mechanical robustness aligns with industry-standard operating conditions, including 40 °C ambient temperature, 1000 m altitude, and 50 Hz systems. The 37 kW rating at 500 V suits medium-to-high-power drives, while the Y connection supports straightforward electrical integration and control in vector drive configurations. Finally, the motor supports sustainability and lifecycle-value goals through ABB EcoSolutions and an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for synchronous reluctance motors. Procurement teams benefit from lower embodied energy, reliable supply chains, and a single-source solution for both standard and explosion-protected variants, improving total cost of ownership.

FAQs
The motor is configured for Y connection and ships with IMB3/IM1001 mounting options on a 225 frame. With a 37 kW rating at 500 V and 50 Hz, installation aligns with common ABB drive trains, and the IP55 enclosure plus cast-iron frame simplify mounting in dusty or damp factory environments. Use standard 4-pole, 3-phase power for reliable starts.
IE5 efficiency means minimal copper and rotor losses at full load, with measured full-load efficiency around 96.3%. In long-running applications like pumps or conveyors, this translates to noticeable energy savings year over year, improved power factor, and compliance with energy benchmarks. Partial-load performance remains around 96% at 75% and 50% loads, stabilizing energy costs.
Yes. The motor features Ex ec explosion protection, Gas Group IIC, and a robust IP55 enclosure, enabling safe operation in zones where ignition sources must be controlled. It is appropriate for chemical, oil & gas, mining, and other hazardous environments, helping you meet regulatory requirements without additional protective enclosures.
The motor complies with IE5 efficiency, IC411 insulation class, and ICFL insulation, plus IP55 enclosure and Gas Group IIC protection for hazardous zones. It aligns with UNSPSC 26101100 and ABB EcoSolutions, and has an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for synchronous reluctance motors, supporting green procurement and lifecycle analysis.
Energy savings from IE5 efficiency reduce electricity bills in continuous duty applications, while robust bearings (6313/C3, 6212/C3) and a cast-iron frame lower maintenance frequency. IP55 protection and Ex ec capability decrease downtime in harsh environments, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership over the motor’s service life.
