Explore the key features and benefits

RPM XE motors are designed to exceed the Premium efficiency standards set by NEMA, making them ideal for applications where energy consumption and cost savings are crucial.

Lower energy costs

Efficiency two to four levels above NEMA Premium®. Significant energy savings when running at reduced speed on centrifugal fan/pump/compressor applications based on the affinity laws.

Space-saving

RPM XE motors are extremely power dense compared to induction motors with standard NEMA mounting dimensions.

Inverter Duty

Inverter duty and suitable for variable speed power in scalar mode.

Synchronous speed

Operates at true synchronous speed regardless of loads.

Lower cost

Reduced motor full load amps can result in a smaller drive, a reduced initial cost and a shortened payback period.

Reliable

Designed to protect against contamination, moisture, vibration and demanding duty cycles.

Extended motor life

Performance enhancing features that make ABB the #1 NEMA motor brand.
