#MotorTalkMonday – SP4: next level efficiency
ABB Baldor-Reliance SP4 motors represent the latest evolution of motor efficiency, but what makes them more efficient?
The SP4 motor achieves NEMA Super Premium efficiency (IE4) through a combination of design innovations, including a longer iron stack, more copper and active material, and a new electrical grade steel process, all working together to reduce energy losses by an average of 20%.
Some of the design innovations that contribute to the increase in efficiency include:
• Longer Iron Stack: The stator core has been redesigned with a longer iron stack, incorporating more iron to improve efficiency.
• More Copper and Active Material: Additional copper and increased active material in the rotor core further optimize energy conversion.
• New Electrical Grade Steel: The SP4 motor utilizes a new process for creating electrical grade steel.
Benefits of this increased efficiency include:
• Runs Cooler: The SP4 motors run cooler, reducing heat-based energy losses.
• Extended Component Life: Reduced heat leads to extended bearing and other component life.
• Lower Operating Costs: Lower electrical energy consumption results in lower operating costs and total cost of ownership.
