RIB COOLED INDUCTION MOTOR IS READY FOR DUTY ABB’S RIB COOLED HIGH VOLTAGE motor is available from stock for immediate delivery to the UK. The motor provides high power density for compact installations, offering more power per kilogram when compared to conventional motors. This often allows operators to use a motor one frame size smaller than conventional products require, making optimal use of available space and providing suitability for retrofit applications. Stock frame sizes range from 315 to 450 with ratings of 200 to 1400kW. Both direct-online (DOL) and variable speed drive (VSD) variants are available for use in hazardous and safe areas. Rib cooling provides superior air flow for internal cooling, reducing the risk of overheating and unpredicted failures. The motor’s rigid, weight-optimised frame is engineered to minimise vibration, and it is provided with an ABB Ability Smart Sensor as standard at no extra cost. The smart sensor is the next step in digitising motor applications, turning mechanical equipment like
motors, gearing, bearings and pumps into IoT-ready smart devices that can provide near real-time feedback on equipment performance, condition and efficiency. The sensor fits directly to the motor’s chassis and can be installed and configured within a matter of minutes. Once installed, it measures parameters
such as temperature, acoustics, vibration, energy consumption and magnetic field straight from the surface of the motor, and transmits it via the cloud to a dashboard from which it can be analysed, facilitating remote monitoring and predictive maintenance. www.abb.com
CONNECTED MOTORS DELIVER HIGH EFFICIENCY LEVELS NIDEC LEROY-SOMER HAS LAUNCHED Dyneo+, a range of super premium efficiency permanent magnetassisted synchronous reluctance motors. Combining the performance of synchronous permanent magnet technology with the easy set-up of induction motors, the motors have been designed to meet the most stringent requirements of industrial applications while offering them even more options using digitalisation. Nidec Leroy-Somer has developed the range to incorporate all the benefits of induction and synchronous permanent magnet technologies, and in addition to offer significant advances in

terms of smart drive solutions. With an energy efficiency level above IE5, reaching the highest efficiency levels of IEC 60034-30-2 and NEMA Super Premium/ Ultra-Premium, Dyneo+ makes it possible to achieve substantial energy savings in real use on cycle at variable speed and load. As a consequence, the range is said to achieve the lowest total cost of ownership on the market. The motor range has been developed alongside the Powerdrive F300 and the new Powerdrive MD Smart variable speed drives. Designed to optimise the
Dyneo+ motor performance, this last generation of high power variable speed drives is fitted with a new HMI and a secured Bluetooth connection to enrich the user experience and fully benefit from the features of the new Systemiz application. Systemiz is a unique interactive application which provides a wide variety of digitalised services, to facilitate the exchange of information between the systems and trigger the subsequent actions. In addition to instantaneous access to all the product literature, the application enables direct access to motor parameters for easy and intuitive drive setting by simply scanning a QR code on the nameplate. acim.nidec.com/motors/leroy-somer www.theaemt.com
