ABB expands IE5 SynRM motor range to enable Ultra-Premium efficiency in more applications
ABB has expanded its IE5 SynRM motor portfolio with three smaller frame sizes (90, 100, 112), now covering 0.75 kW to 450 kW.
This gives customers the broadest range of magnet- and rare earth-free motors to boost efficiency, reliability, and sustainability across even more applications. With extended power and speed options up to 3600 RPM, the motors are ideal for pumps, fans, and compressors—perfectly paired with ABB variable speed drives for maximum performance.
“Smaller motors are often deployed in high volumes and in continuous-duty or space-constrained environments where thermal performance, precise control, and high efficiency under partial load are critical”, said Stefan Floeck, president IEC LV Motors, ABB. “With our expanded SynRM range, we’re ensuring that every motor, no matter the size, plays its part in helping boost productivity for our customers while cutting emissions.”
ABB’s IE5 SynRM motors cut energy losses by up to 40% compared to IE3 motors, resulting in significant savings. For example, a single 90 kW motor can save €79,800 and reduce CO₂ emissions by 95,760 kg over 20 years. Industrial sites typically operate dozens or even hundreds of smaller motors alongside larger ones, multiplying these savings and environmental benefits—often delivering a payback in as little as five months.
