Features that matter

ABB’s Integrated Motor Drive solutions combine ultra-efficient, plug-and-play motor and drive technology in a compact, reliable package that simplifies installation, saves energy, and reduces maintenance.

Plug and play

Integrated motor and drive design delivers true plug-and-play convenience—pre-engineered, pre-tuned, and ready to run right out of the box.

Energy efficiency

By matching speed to load, these motors use only the necessary energy, leading to significant savings—especially in pumps and fans—reducing operating costs and environmental impact.

Inverter Duty

Inverter Duty per NEMA MG1 means these motors are built to withstand the harsher electrical and mechanical conditions of VSD use, ensuring longer life and reliable performance.

Compact and Lightweight

ABB’s compact, lightweight integrated motor and drive eliminates belts, couplings, and other wear components, reducing mechanical complexity, minimizing maintenance, and boosting long-term reliability.

Quiet operation

With fewer mechanical parts and an optimized electromagnetic design, ABB’s integrated motor and drive delivers exceptionally quiet operation—perfect for HVAC and building applications.

Reduced maintenance

ABB’s integrated motor and drive reduces maintenance with fewer moving parts, sealed-for-life components, and a simplified design, keeping systems running longer with less downtime.

Flexibility

Built-in drive intelligence enables decentralized control, letting each motor operate independently for smarter, more flexible system performance
