Synchronous reluctance motor topology (SynRM) delivers higher efficiency through reluctance torque, reducing energy consumption in both full-load and part-load conditions. This translates into tangible operating-cost reductions and cooler drive systems, especially on conveyors and fans where load varies. The IE5 efficiency class further strengthens energy savings and regulatory compliance for green initiatives and utility incentive programs. Ex ec protection paired with IP55 enclosure enables safe operation in potentially explosive or dusty environments, lowering maintenance risks and enabling longer service intervals. A robust 280-frame, cast-iron housing with a 4-pole design provides mechanical stiffness and low vibration, supporting precise control and long life in demanding plants. IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility and D-configuration connections simplify retrofits and upgrades, reducing installation time and minimizing downtime. The combination of high-grade insulation (ICLF) and a 1000 m altitude rating broadens applicability across diverse geographic locations, improving total life-cycle reliability.

FAQs
For D-configured systems, ensure 400 V, 50 Hz supply compatibility and set up the D connection per ABB mounting guidelines. Use IMB5/IM3001 mounting and verify the Terminator Box Location is D-End top. Confirm frame 280, 4-pole configuration, and IP55 enclosure to match environmental conditions. Proper alignment and torque during mounting reduce vibration and extend bearing life.
The motor features Ex protection (Ex ec) and an IP55 enclosure, enabling safe operation in dusty or potentially explosive areas. Combined with robust insulation (ICLF) and a 1000 m altitude rating, the design supports reliable performance in harsh industrial settings, while maintaining energy efficiency and reduced maintenance requirements.
Yes, it meets IE5 efficiency, delivering high energy performance across full and partial loads. The design supports regulatory compliance for energy management and safety, with features like Ex protection, IP55, and European-standard insulation. This combination helps reduce lifecycle costs and align with sustainability targets in manufacturing environments.
Yes. The motor is specified for IMB5/IM3001 mounting and uses a 4-pole frame 280 configuration with D-connection compatibility. When retrofitting, verify shaft alignment, terminal box access, and mounting clearances. The IMB5 mounting standard minimizes downtime and supports straightforward integration into existing plant drives.
Expected ROI comes from energy savings due to IE5 efficiency and reduced cooling loads, plus lower maintenance from robust SynRM technology and durable cast-iron framing. On conveyors with frequent start-stop cycles, the motor’s efficiency at variable load translates into meaningful annual savings, faster payback, and improved uptime in continuous-production environments.
