ABB, a global leader in electrification and automation, is proud to announce the launch of its latest line of open drip-proof (ODP) motors at the Turbomachinery & Pump Symposium (TPS), taking place September 16-18 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas, U.S. Attendees are invited to visit booth 2617 to experience firsthand how ABB’s innovations are driving performance, reliability and energy efficiency in industrial motor applications.
The new ODP motors, in NEMA frame sizes 5000 and 580, are optimized for 460V/60Hz operation and engineered to deliver exceptional power density and cooling performance, making them ideal for demanding industrial environments. Designed with IE3 efficiency (equivalent to NEMA Premium Efficient), these motors help reduce energy consumption while maintaining robust performance in applications with moderate exposure to dust and moisture. These motors can also be configured as WPII or IP44 motors (without a bonnet) due to an innovative design with a series of internal right angles and filters that provide additional protection in outdoor environments.
Key features of ABB’s new ODP motors:
- High power density without the need for auxiliary cooling
- Superior energy efficiency for reduced operational costs
- Reliable performance in challenging industrial conditions
- Compatibility with existing North American motor installations for easy retrofits and upgrades
Robert Boyce, U.S. Division Manager for IEC Low-Voltage Motors, will be available at the booth for scheduled interviews and technical discussions. Visitors will also learn about ABB’s broader portfolio, including the Baldor-Reliance® SP4™ Super Premium motors, EC Titanium™ integrated motor-drive units, and the full range of ABB SynRM motors, all designed to meet the evolving needs of the compressor and pump industries.
