The SynRM2 is an upgrade of ABB’s award-winning SynRM (synchronous reluctance) motor technology launched in 2011.
A feature of ABB’s latest SynRM2 motors is that they do not utilise rare earth permanent magnets; instead, they use ferrite magnets, which are more cost effective and easily available. This results in more economically and ecologically sustainable products.
The largest business potential for the new motors is in the 1-15kW output range, and among OEM customers who require motor and drive packages which can be configured for optimum performance in a variety of applications.
This new motor technology represents a new ultra-premium efficiency, IE5.
