Synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM)

Dust ignition proof motors

Process performance induction motors

Liquid-cooled SynRM motors

General performance motors

The synchronous reluctance (SynRM) motor is a three-phase electric motor with a magnetically anisotropic rotor structure. The rotor in a synchronous reluctance motor has no magnets or windings and suffers virtually no power losses. Synchronous reluctance technology combines the performance of permanent magnet motors with induction motors, without the use of rare earth metals.

Reliability with a sustainable and long-lasting performance by minimizing motor failures and downtime.
Ultra-premium energy efficiency
Deliver full torque from zero speed and give excellent partial-load efficiency
Improved bearing system reliability

ABB offers a full range of IECEx/ATEX certified low voltage dust ignition proof motors in both cast iron and aluminum frames. In addition the revolutionary synchronous reluctance technology now extends to a Dust ignition proof variant, providing ultra-premium energy efficiency. Motors are made to meet the precise needs of each customer and each application. Dust ignition-proof motors use special seals to prevent dust from entering the enclosure.

Dust tight enclosure combined with controlled temperature of external parts prevents ignition of combustible dust
Cast iron or aluminum enclosure
Dust groups IIIB or IIIC
Temperature class T125°C, T100°C …T150°C optional

ABB IE5 Liquid-cooled SynRM motors offer increased efficiency and power density without size increase, merging the benefits of liquid cooling and SynRM technologies in a new motor design.

Reliability; fewer unplanned stoppages, extended service intervals, lower maintenance needs and longer lifetimes.
Liquid-cooled motors do not need fans or ventilation and therefore do not disturb the surrounding air.
Maximum output in restricted space is ensured through the motor’s compact size.
Flexible control and monitoring of the process improves overall performance and efficiency
