In potentially explosive atmospheres
ABB has extended the family of IE5 synchronous reluctance motors IE5-SynRM. The new variant has been developed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres in a wide range of speed-controlled industrial applications.
According to ABB, the motor family offers precise control and high efficiency across the entire speed range, even at partial load. This makes the IE5-SynRM-Ex motor variant suitable for upgrading standard asynchronous motors with increased safety for pumps, fans and compressors in sectors where explosive gases, vapors or dusts can occur, for example in the oil and gas industry, chemical industry, wood processing or in flour mills. The motor's cooler operation compared to standard designs is cited as a major advantage: The bearing temperature is reduced by up to 15 °C and the winding temperature by up to 30 °C, which increases reliability, extends motor service life and reduces maintenance requirements. The IE5-SynRM with increased safety is available in outputs between 5.5 and 315 kW and in sizes from IEC 132 to 315.
