ABB reported the IE5 SynRM motor offers 50% lower energy losses compared to IE2 motors. The synchronous reluctance motor meets the new IE5 ultra-premium energy-efficiency class from the International Electrotechnical Commission, the company reported.
The SynRM design combines the performance advantages of permanent magnet technology with the simplicity and service-friendliness of an induction platform. Benefits include lower bearing and winding temperatures for enhanced reliability and long life, ABB reported. The motor also produces less noise.
The units can be used as standard induction motors in pumps, fans and conveyors. They can replace induction motors as they have the same size and output power. They are available with output power of 5.5 to 315 kW in frame sizes IEC 132-315.
Separately, ABB launched Ability Genix Industrial Analytics and AI suite, described as a scalable analytics platform and application bundle that combines operational data with engineering and IT data to deliver actionable intelligence for improving operations.
The platform is described as a data convergence point, where data from diverse sources get context from a unified analytics model. Artificial Intelligence produces insights for prediction and optimization.
The platform and applications are supplemented by ABB services that help with interpreting the insights and predictions provided. Customers can subscribe to analytics-on-demand offerings from the company.
Ability Genix can be deployed to the Microsoft Azure cloud, on-premise, or by a hybrid solution.
