ABB is launching its new Baldor-Reliance SP4 close-coupled pump motor at WEFTEC, September 29 through October 1 at McCormick Place, Chicago, Illinois, U.S. Media is invited to visit booth #1243 to learn how ABB engineered this NEMA Super Premium™ (IE4) efficiency motor with a compact design that simplifies installation, reduces maintenance and ensures reliable performance in demanding pumping applications in the water and wastewater industry.
Like all ABB Baldor-Reliance SP4 motors, the new close-coupled pump configuration reduces motor losses by an average of 20%, compared to standard induction motors, while maintaining the simplicity, form, fit and function of today‘s installed base of AC induction motors. With more than 80% of industrial electric motors operating direct on line (DOL) - without using a drive to improve efficiency - SP4 represents ABB’s commitment to improving efficiency and performance without requiring customers to make significant investments in additional technology or components.
