ABB Debuts Compact IE5 Motor-Drive Unit For Fast Energy Gains

ABB has unveiled its LV Titanium Variable Speed Motor, a fully integrated, plug-and-play package that combines a high-efficiency motor with a purpose-designed variable-speed drive. Engineered in one streamlined housing, the unit delivers IE5 Ultra-Premium efficiency, allowing plant operators to cut electricity use, lower carbon emissions and secure a rapid return on investment. It will be available in India later this year.

Because the drive is factory-matched to the permanent-magnet motor, the LV Titanium needs no on-site commissioning: a single engineer can replace an older direct-online induction motor, with no extra cabinets or special training. The axial drive mount keeps the footprint at least two frame sizes smaller than comparable motors, a benefit for cramped sites and vertical-pump layouts.

Lower bills, smaller footprint
In a typical 7.5 kW centrifugal-pump duty, the IE5 package is estimated to save about Rs 0.18 million a year in electricity costs (based on power priced at Rs 9 per kWh), while avoiding roughly 14 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. The motor can deliver high torque at low speeds and operates quietly, making it suitable for pumps, compressors and general industrial machinery from 1.5 kW to 30 kW at 1 500-4 500 rpm.

Built for flexible control
The compact unit includes an intuitive control panel with analogue and digital I/O, a modest built-in PLC and Modbus RTU communications for easy integration with plant control systems. Off-the-shelf models cater to water, chemical, food-and-beverage and other sectors, while ABB will customise variants to match specific customer requirements.

Stefan Floeck, President of ABB’s IEC Low Voltage Motors division, said the product arose from customer calls for “energy savings and lower emissions without installation complexity�.

With energy efficiency, versatility and space-saving design wrapped into one factory-optimised package, the LV Titanium looks set to offer industry a straightforward path to modern, speed-controlled motor systems.
