FAQs
When upgrading, verify the motor is mounted for IMB3/IM1001 configurations and that the terminal box is accessible for the D‑End top location. Ensure the supply is 500 V, 50 Hz with a Y-configuration, and confirm ambient conditions up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m. The motor’s IP55 rating supports harsh environments.
This model delivers 90 kW at 50 Hz with a 500 V supply and IE5 efficiency. Full-load efficiency is rated at 96.4%, with high efficiency maintained across partial loads (75% and 50%). The improved efficiency reduces energy consumption, lowers cooling requirements, and decreases long-term operating costs in continuous and variable-speed drive applications.
Yes. The motor carries Ex ec explosion protection, IP55 enclosure, and Gas Group IIC ratings, making it appropriate for hazardous zones. Its design supports safe operation in environments with flammable vapors or dust while meeting stringent international standards, aiding compliance with process safety and risk management programs.
The motor is certified IE5 for energy efficiency, Ex ec for hazardous environments, IP55 for enclosure protection, and IC411 insulation with IMB3/IM1001 mounting. These certifications streamline regulatory compliance, reduce risk during audits, and help align procurement with sustainability and safety requirements across global facilities.
The SynRM design delivers high efficiency (IE5) with lower rotor copper losses, improving torque density and reducing cooling needs. This translates to lower energy bills and potentially longer intervals between maintenance due to steadier thermal profiles. When paired with ABB drive solutions, total lifecycle costs are typically reduced through improved reliability and efficiency.
