IE5 and IE6 SynRM Safe Area Motors
ABB expands its IE6 SynRM portfolio with larger frame sizes, delivering the broadest range of rare earth–free motors for efficient, reliable performance.
Overview
© ABBDescription
ABB's IE5 and IE6 Synchronous reluctance (SynRM) motors deliver world-leading energy efficiency, high torque, and superior performance, helping industries optimize productivity while cutting costs and reducing emissions. Combining the service-friendliness of an induction motor with the exceptional performance of permanent magnet technology, these energy-efficient motors do not contain magnets or rare earth metals. The portfolio spans ultra-premium IE5 efficiency (0.75-90 kW) and breakthrough IE6 hyper-efficiency (110-450 kW) — the first magnet-free motors to reach IE6. This innovative design ensures industry-leading efficiency with lowest maintenance across the entire power range.
Key Benefits
- Cost efficient: The motor runs cooler, offering increased reliability, lower maintenance needs and a longer life, making it a cost-efficient and competitive solution.
- Proven reliability: Fewer unplanned stoppages, longer service life, and reduced maintenance costs make these motors ideal for demanding industries, with cooler operation directly contributing to improved reliability and extended lifetime.
- Energy efficiency: ABB IE5 SynRM motors reduce energy losses by up to 40% vs. IE3 motors, resulting in lower operational running costs and lower CO₂ emissions. With IE6 SynRM motors, you get additional 20% lower energy losses.
- Lower environmental impact: IE5 and IE6 SynRM motors reduce energy losses and cut emissions for a lower environmental impact. With their magnet-free design they do not contain rare earth metals.
- Flexible for your needs: ABB’s synchronous reluctance motors come in various power ratings, speeds, and frame sizes, giving you the flexibility to choose the perfect motor for your unique application.
- Drop-in replacement: The IE5 and IE6 SynRM motor is a perfect choice for retrofitting existing systems. With the same dimensions as an induction motor, it fits seamlessly without requiring mechanical changes. Its higher efficiency also shortens the investment payback period.
