Energy-efficient operation is at the core of this SynRM design. The motor's IE5 efficiency rating translates into measurable energy savings in continuous-duty drives. In pump and conveyor applications, the reduced rotor losses deliver tangible reductions in running costs and heat generation, enabling tighter thermal budgets and improved system reliability. This is especially valuable for long-running applications where every percentage point of efficiency compounds over time. Hazardous-area readiness is built in. Exeb protection, IP55 enclosure, and Gas Group IIC compatibility mean installation in zones with flammable atmospheres is possible without excessive enclosure cooling or external cooling options. This reduces mitigation steps, simplifies procurement, and supports compliance with relevant electrical standards for chemical plants and refineries. The motor's insulation class ICLF complements the safety profile for continuous operation at 40°C ambient. Mechanical robustness and installation flexibility. Cast-iron frame and 315 frame size provide a sturdy base for heavy loads, while IMB5/IM3001 mounting and the D-End top terminator box offer straightforward alignment and service access. With 4 poles and a 500 V supply, you can achieve a consistent speed-torque relationship suitable for precise control in process lines. Operating range and environmental tolerance. Rated at 50 Hz, 500 V input, with 4P and a 4-pole design, this motor maintains stable performance across typical plant conditions. The 1000 m altitude and 40°C ambient rating ensure reliable operation in regional installations, while the IP55 rating protects against dust and water ingress in harsh environments. Lifecycle value and integration. The product aligns with ABB's drive ecosystem, enabling seamless integration with ABB variable-speed drives and control systems. Its low-maintenance SynRM topology reduces bearing-related upkeep, and the environmentally conscious EPD supports sustainability reporting and procurement.
