ABB – ABB motor sets new world record by achieving 99.13% energy efficiency

• A large synchronous electric motor created for a steel plant in India is the most efficient ever made, thanks to Top Industrial Efficiency design
• The steel plant will have estimated electricity cost savings of around $6 million through improved energy efficiency over the motor’s 25-year lifespan
• The investment in energy efficiency will have a projected payback period of just over three months

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.
