IE5 efficiency and SynRM rotor design deliver measurable energy savings. By minimizing stator and rotor losses at full and partial loads, the motor reduces operating costs in continuous-process pumps, fans, and conveyors. In real-world applications, this translates to lower electricity bills and cooler plant rooms, enabling higher output without extra energy input. Ex protection (Exeb) and IP55 enclosure enable safe operation in hazardous zones and dusty environments. This supports regulatory compliance in chemical, oil and gas, and mining industries, while protecting critical equipment from ingress and corrosion. Frame 280, 4-pole design and IMB3/IM1001 mounting offer a compact footprint without sacrificing torque. The IMB3 mounting simplifies retrofit and replacement in existing plants, while compatibility with standard ABB drives supports straightforward integration. With an ambient rating of 40 C and altitude up to 1000 m, the motor remains reliable in challenging sites. The integrated IC411 insulation and low-maintenance design contribute to lower maintenance costs and a lower total cost of ownership. Quality and sustainability considerations are reinforced by ABB EcoSolutions and an Environmental Product Declaration for Synchronous Reluctance motors, enabling informed procurement for mission-critical industries.

FAQs
IMB3/IM1001 mounting is supported, with the terminator box located at D-End top for convenient wiring. Ensure compliance with IP55 enclosure, 500 V line voltage, and 50 Hz operation. Plan for a 4-pole, 280-frame layout and confirm space for a 639 kg machine at both installation and service points. Consider altitude up to 1000 m and ambient temperatures up to 40 C to maintain insulation and cooling performance.
IE5 efficiency signifies very low losses at both full and partial loads. In pumps and fans, this translates to meaningful energy savings, reduced heat rejection, and lower cooling requirements. Expect improvements in operating costs across continuous-duty applications, with full-load efficiency reported around 96.2%, supporting a lower total cost of ownership over the motor’s life cycle.
Yes. The motor features Exeb explosion protection and gas group IIC rating, making it suitable for hazardous environments. Its IP55 enclosure adds protection from dust and water ingress, while IC411 insulation supports safe operation in demanding conditions. This combination helps meet typical regulatory and safety requirements in chemical, refining, and mining facilities.
Verify compatibility with 500 V input and 50 Hz operation, ensuring a 4-pole, 45 kW output matches the drive rating. Use IMB3/IM1001 mounting and confirm the motor’s connection configuration (D). Check protective measures for Ex environments and ensure the drive supports IE5 efficiency targets. Confirm mounting clearance and service access for maintenance and potential retrofits.
The SynRM design and IE5 efficiency deliver lower energy costs and cooler plant operation, supporting a favorable ROI in continuous-duty applications. With robust Ex protection, IP55 enclosure, and reliable IMB3 mounting, maintenance intervals can be extended and downtime reduced. Adoption aligns with sustainability goals via ABB EcoSolutions and an Environmental Product Declaration, aiding procurement decisions with verifiable environmental data.
