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 performanceCommon Applications
