IE5 efficiency in a synchronous reluctance motor reduces electrical losses and heat. Business Impact: Lower energy costs, reduced cooling requirements, and extended bearing life in high-duty applications. Application: Ideal for continuous-duty drives in metal forming, material handling, and process conveyors. Ex ec explosion protection with gas group IIC certification offers explosion-safe operation. Business Impact: Enhanced safety in hazardous environments, enabling compliance with strict regulatory regimes. Application: Chemical plants, refineries, and mining operations where hazardous atmospheres are present. IP55 enclosure combined with a robust cast iron frame (Frame Size 280) stands up to dust, moisture, and mechanical shocks. Business Impact: Higher reliability, lower maintenance, and longer service intervals. Application: Outdoor installations, sorting lines, and dusty production floors. 4-pole design at 50 Hz with 500 V input delivers strong torque for demanding drives. Business Impact: Improved start-up performance and smoother operation, reducing transients in belts and shafts. Application: Pumps, blowers, and mixers in process industries. IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility simplifies installation and retrofits. Business Impact: Shorter commissioning, reduced downtime, and easier standardization across plants. Application: Retrofit projects and new builds using ABB mounting schemes. Comprehensive electrical and mechanical data such as IE Class IE5, IP55, IC411 insulation class, and altitude up to 1000 m. Business Impact: Clear compliance path, predictable performance, and safer operation in varying environments. Application: Industrial facilities with strict energy and safety requirements.

FAQs
This motor supports D connection with a 500 V input at 50 Hz and uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting. Plan for IP55 enclosure and 4-pole, 3-phase wiring to maintain optimal cooling. Ensure compliance with local hazardous-area standards and verify mounting alignment with the 280 frame size to minimize retrofit effort.
The motor delivers 45 kW at 50 Hz with IE5 efficiency. It operates with four poles for strong torque and uses a 500 V supply while achieving full-load efficiency around 96% and stable partial-load efficiency, supporting reliable operation in continuous-duty applications such as conveyors and pumps.
Yes. It features Ex ec explosion protection and gas group IIC certification, enabling safe operation in hazardous zones. Combined with an IP55 rating, it provides protection against dust and moisture, making it suitable for chemical plants, refineries, and similar environments where flammable atmospheres may be present.
The motor is designed for IMB5/IM3001 mounting, simplifying installation and retrofit projects. This compatibility reduces downtime during plant upgrades and supports easier standardization across multi-line facilities, especially where ABB mounting schemes are already in use.
With IE5 efficiency and robust SynRM construction, expect lower energy bills and reduced cooling requirements. The cast-iron frame and IP55 enclosure improve reliability, decreasing maintenance intervals. The combination of explosion protection and durable mounting supports longer service life and faster, safer maintenance in harsh industrial environments.
