ABB Baldor-Reliance SP4 Motors Represent the Latest Evolution of Motor Efficiency
SP4 is ABB’s solution for a more sustainable and efficient future driven by the need to reduce energy consumption. The idea is simple: Take a proven AC induction motor design and make it better by reducing motor losses by an average of 20 percent while maintaining the simplicity, form, fit and function of today‘s installed base of AC induction motors. With more than 80 percent of industrial electric motors operating direct on line (DOL) – without using a drive to improve efficiency – SP4 represents ABB’s commitment to improving efficiency and performance without requiring customers to make significant investments in additional technology or components.
