IE6 SynRM Increased Safety (Ex eb / Ex ec) Motors
We are the first manufacturer in the world to introduce IE6 magnet-free motors for hazardous areas
Overview
© ABBDescription
ABB is the world’s first manufacturer to offer an IE6 Hyper‑Efficiency motor certified to ATEX and IECEx requirements for use in hazardous areas. The new IE6 motor, based on ABB’s magnet- and rare earth- free synchronous reluctance (SynRM) technology, offers up to 60 percent lower energy losses than the IE3 induction motors commonly used in Zones 1 and 2. This enables operators to realize a major boost in energy efficiency and avoided carbon emissions in industries where gas, vapor or dust might be present, such as chemicals, marine, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals and food & beverage.
Key Benefits
- Energy efficiency: IE6 Hyper-Efficiency SynRM motor reduces energy losses by 60 percent over a standard IE3 induction motor, making it the ideal upgrade solution for pumps, fans and compressors.
- Certified safety: Certification to ATEX and IECEx requirements. Increased safety motors prevent hot surfaces and sparks, while dust ignition-proof motors use special seals to block dust entry.
- Proven reliability: Fewer unplanned stoppages, extended service life, and lower maintenance costs make these motors a game-changer in demanding industries.
- Cost efficient: The motor runs cooler, offering increased reliability, lower maintenance needs and a longer life, making it a cost-efficient and competitive solution.
- Lower environmental impact: IE6 SynRM Increased Safety motors offer a lower environmental impact by eliminating rare earth metals, reducing energy losses, and cutting emissions.
- Safety features: By upgrading from a IE3 motor to an IE6 SynRM, you may achieve a return on investment in as little as eight months.
