The benefits of IE5 SynRm Increased Safety motors range extend beyond just energy efficiency savings. With cooler operating temperatures, and no magnets included, SynRm motors have longer maintenance periods, reducing maintenance worries and costs. Combined with variable speed drives (VSD), IE5 SynRm Increased Safety motors can be used in a wide range of applications.
The use of fans in air-cooled processes are vital to maintaining the smooth running of many industrial processes across the energy industry. IE5 SynRm motors allow for prolonged fan lifetime, and quieter operation of the motor also leads to reductions in the noise level of the fan.
Within pump applications, regardless of hazardous or safe area, SynRM motors provides benefits such as soft starts, which reduce pipeline and electrical network stress, and increased loadability, which enables more power to be delivered compared to a same size induction motor.
Compressors are most commonly used for vacuums, boosters and pressurizing gas. The IE5 SynRM Increased Safety motor offers accurate motor speed control, which minimizes pressure peaks to pipes and other equipment.
Such applications of IE5 SynRM Increased Safety motors allow them to be used across a wide range of subsegments within the energy industry, such as pipelines, refining, offshore platforms, FPSO ships, gas processing petrochemicals etc.
