SynRM motor & VSD packages
24 February 2015
Balancing energy efficiency improvements with process control requirements is eliminated with ABB’s synchronous reluctance (SynRM) motor and variable-speed drive (VSD) packages.

An innovative synchronous reluctance motor that combines all of the energy saving benefits of permanent magnet technology together with the service-friendliness of an induction motor platform paired with an ABB industrial drive and advanced software, offers a complete package for end-users and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
ABB’s motor has no rotor windings in the traditional sense. The rotor, therefore, suffers virtually no power losses and its temperature remains lower than in conventional rotors, delivering losses typically 40% lower than its induction motor counterpart.
