ABB Launches Worlds First Magnet-Free IE6 Motor for Hazardous Areas
ABB has unveiled the worlds first IE6 ultra-premium efficiency synchronous reluctance motor certified for hazardous areas completely magnet-free and without rare earth materials.
ABB has achieved a major breakthrough with the launch of the worlds first IE6 ultra-premium efficiency synchronous reluctance (SynRM) motor certified for hazardous areas. The motor achieves the highest efficiency class using proven magnet-free reluctance technology.
The IE6 SynRM motor is ideal for oil and gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, and mining industries where explosion-proof equipment is mandatory. According to ABB, the motor can pay for itself in as little as 8 months through energy savings alone.
IE6 surpasses IE5 by approximately 20 percent in energy losses. As global regulations mandate higher efficiency classes, this innovation positions the industry for a new era of sustainable motor technology.
