Motor with new rotor design

ABB has launched a new motor based on an innovative rotor design, offering high efficiency and high power output.

Using synchronous reluctance technology, the new motor is robust and has practically no losses. The motor is offered as a complete package together with a frequency converter and dedicated software.

Juha Silvennoinen, head of ABB's motors and generators business unit, says: "The new rotor is a break-through in motor technology, an achievement that makes it possible to make motors that are much more efficient and smaller than conventional induction motors."

The motor and drive package is offered in two configurations, one that maximises efficiency, the other maximising output.

The high efficiency package meets the latest most stringent efficiency level specified by the IEC; class IE4, super premium efficiency. For customers, this means 40% less energy losses than a conventional motor.

Thanks to these savings the pay-back time of this package is very short, in many cases less than two years.
