5 Things to Know About IE5 SynRM Motors

Let ABB start at the beginning. What difference does the efficiency of an electric motor make to you and why should you care? The answer is that by using less energy we can help prevent climate change. Today, 45% of all electricity is converted into motion by motors in buildings and industrial applications. And generating electricity causes a significant amount of CO2 emissions, which cause global warming. So, if we want to reduce emissions and stop global warming, making motors more efficient is one of the best places to start. And in the world of motors, IE5 synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM motors) are the very best place to start.
