FAQs
Yes. The motor supports IMB5/IM3001 mounting and is designed for 690 V, 50 Hz operation with a Y connection. Its IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation make it suitable for hazardous-area installations, while its 4-pole configuration enables smooth coupling to standard ABB drives and existing baseplates for straightforward installation.
IE5 denotes top-tier energy efficiency for asynchronous/reluctance motors, delivering lower no-load and load losses. For a 55 kW motor at 690 V, this translates to reduced electricity consumption, improved overall system efficiency, and lower operating costs over the motor’s life, especially in continuous-duty applications paired with variable-speed drives.
Yes. It features Exeb protection and IIC gas-group compatibility, IP55 sealing, and IC411 insulation, aligning with ATEX/IECEx expectations. This enables safe operation in chemical, petrochemical, and other hazardous environments while supporting compliant drive solutions in industrial automation projects.
Product net dimensions are 884 mm in depth, 626 mm in height, and 480 mm in width, with a net weight of 396 kg and a gross weight of 406 kg. These metrics should be considered when designing the mount, service clearance, and handling equipment for installation or replacement in existing plant rooms.
SynRM IE5 motors deliver energy savings with high-efficiency operation, reducing electricity costs during long duty cycles. The robust cast-iron frame and IP55/Ex protection contribute to longer MTBF and lower maintenance needs in tough environments. ROI improves through energy savings, reduced cooling requirements, and extended service intervals when paired with reliable ABB drives and control architectures.
