IE5 efficiency with SynRM design translates into lower energy consumption and reduced running costs for continuous-duty drives. Business impact includes improved plant energy metrics and lower CO2 footprint, which helps meet sustainability targets without sacrificing performance. In applications such as conveyors, mixers, and process fans, the motor maintains high efficiency across full and partial loads, especially at 50 Hz operation. Ex certification and protective measures address a core risk for hazardous environments. The Ex protection class, combined with gas group IIC rating, delivers safer operation in chemical plants, metal processing, and petrochemical facilities. This enables easier regulatory compliance and reduces the need for external safety add-ons, saving installation time and material costs. IP55 enclosure and rugged IMB3/IM1001 mounting provide durable protection against dust, water, and shock. This simplifies installation on factory floors and outdoor locations, while maintaining safe service access for maintenance. The frame size 250 and heavy-duty bearings (6315/C3) support long service life in challenging conditions. 4-pole design at 50 Hz with a 500 V input and Y connection ensures stable torque and smooth speed control when paired with standard drives. The motor easily integrates with existing 3-phase systems and control panels, reducing wiring complexity and commissioning time. Frame and enclosure choices align with common OEM mounting patterns. Operational readiness and environmental data, including 1000 m altitude tolerance and 40 °C ambient limit, help engineers plan installations in a wide range of facilities. The product also supports ABB EcoSolutions and has an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for synchronous reluctance motors, reinforcing sustainability and responsible procurement. Together, these features translate into lower total cost of ownership, predictable performance, and faster project delivery. The 55 kW SynRM solution is ideal for retrofit or new-build programs seeking reliability, energy efficiency, and hazard-area compliance in heavy industrial applications.

FAQs
Compatibility is strong with standard industrial drives. The motor uses a Y (star) connection for 500 V three-phase supply and can be controlled by most medium- and high-power VFDs designed for 50 Hz systems. Ensure the driver supports IE5-class motors and has suitable protection settings. Follow IEC 60079 guidelines if operating in Ex zones.
The motor combines IE5 efficiency with IP55 protection and Ex electrical protection, plus gas-group IIC suitability for hazardous zones. These certifications reduce ignition risk, simplify regulatory compliance, and enable safer operation in chemical, energy, and processing environments, which translates to faster approvals and easier integration into safety systems.
Yes. The Ex protection (Exec) and IIC gas group rating, combined with IP55 enclosure, are designed for hazardous environments. It supports safe operation in zones with flammable atmospheres and enables compliant mounting in IMB3/IM1001 configurations, reducing the need for specialized add-ons and accelerating project commissioning.
Maintenance focuses on bearing life and enclosure integrity. The motor uses durable bearings (6315/C3) and a robust IP55 enclosure for harsh conditions. Regular checks should include bearing temperature, shaft endplay, and wiring insulation. Because of its solid mechanical design, downtime is typically minimized compared with traditional induction motors.
ROI is driven by IE5 efficiency and reduced energy use under varied loads, alongside lower maintenance needs from robust SynRM construction. With full-load efficiency around 96.5% and strong partial-load performance, energy savings compound over time, while Ex and IP insights shorten installation time and risk, delivering faster project payback in retrofit or new-build programs.
