ABB IE5 SynRM motors

ABB IE5 SynRM motors deliver ultra-premium energy efficiency

Customers can increase their energy efficiency, improve sustainability and enhance reliability by upgrading to ABB IE5 ultra-premium SynRM motors that offer up to 50 percent lower energy losses compared to IE2 motors.

ABB’s IE5 synchronous reluctance motor is a new first choice for energy efficiency.

SynRM customer
success stories

Campbell’s Australia cuts  costs with SynRM  ABB’s IE5 SynRM and VSD package resulted in a
considerable drop in energy costs at Campbell’s Australia. Over a 12-month period, a 14% reduction
in energy costs was demonstrated. A total of almost  AUD 15,000 was saved annually in energy costs, with
an annual reduction of approximately 131 tonnes of CO₂ emissions. The refrigeration plant in question
runs 24/7, so SynRM technology was able to deliver significant energy and cost savings.

Meeting energy efficiency and
sustainability goals

In 2020 and 2021 the Bocholt, Germany sewage   treatment plant invested in ABB’s IE5 SynRM motors
and ultra-low harmonic drives to help treat up to 108,000 cubic metres of water every day. The motor and
drive packages are the perfect energy- and cost-efficient solution to loads which can vary considerably through
many control processes. Instead of regulating partial loads with on-off operation, the facility can now finetune their efficiency based on the principle of only using
as much energy as is needed.

Rich, thick, and energy efficient

Fulfilling our sweet teeth is an energy-intensive task throughout the manufacturing process. In Italy, SACMI
Packaging & Chocolate focus their operations on guaranteeing the optimal energy consumption for their
machine and full line customers. Bearing this in mind, the company has installed ABB’s SynRM IE5 motors to reach
a 3-4% electric current saving in their conching machines, which frequently run at different loads and speeds. In
combination with a VSD, the SynRM motor has been able to reach twice the nominal speed, pairing energy and
production efficiency.

Conclusion

The motor technology needed to radically improve energy efficiency is already available, tested, and proven. SynRM motor and drive packages
offer a dramatic improvement in energy efficiency, which, if adopted globally, will help reduce energy use and fight against climate change.
