Switzerland, May 28 -- ABB has broken its own world record for energy efficiency in large synchronous electric motors with a new motor designed in line with its Top Industrial Efficiency (TIE) initiative which delivers equipment which exceeds standard performance benchmarks. ABB's TIE motors and generators are engineered to surpass current efficiency benchmarks, helping customers reduce electricity usage, operating costs, and total cost of ownership (TCO) without compromising performance or adding complexity.The motor, destined for a steel plant in India, has achieved an efficiency rating of 99.13% during testing, a substantial improvement over ABB's previous world record of 99.05% set in 2017. The efficiency rating is the ratio between the...
