Plug-and-Play Energy Efficiency for Industrial Applications
The LV Titanium offers a simple and cost-effective way to provide IE5 Ultra-Premium efficiency for pumps, compressors and many other applications. As a drop-in replacement for existing direct-online (DOL) induction motors, the Variable Speed Motor provides an easy upgrade path to a VSD-driven motor with a fast ROI.
Purpose-Designed Integration for Peak Performance
The innovative LV Titanium platform is far more than a drive simply bolted on to a motor. Instead, it is engineered as a fully integrated concept, with an advanced drive module purpose-designed from the outset for optimal performance with a high efficiency permanent magnet (PM) motor. This sleek, streamlined design, with the axial drive mounted on the end of the motor, saves space and makes the LV Titanium ideal for applications like vertical pumps. It is also remarkably quiet in operation.
Flexibility Across Torque and Speed Demands
A further advantage of the LV Titanium is that it can operate over a wide range of speed and torque requirements, with the capability to deliver high torque at low speeds.
Developed with Real Customer Challenges in Mind
“We developed the LV Titanium in collaboration with customers who asked us to help them achieve energy savings and reduced carbon emissions without installation complexity,” said Stefan Floeck, Division President, IEC Low Voltage Motors at ABB. “This Variable Speed Motor delivers just that - advanced performance in a compact, user-friendly and speed-controlled motor package that draws on our decades of application expertise.”
No Setup Needed – True Plug-and-Play Convenience
Plug-and-play functionality means the LV Titanium needs no commissioning, as the fully integrated motor and drive are commissioned and optimized to work together before leaving the factory. This makes installation fast and easy, with no need for cabinets or electrical rooms, and specially trained personnel are not required.
Simple Control and Seamless Connectivity
The LV Titanium has an intuitive control panel with customer friendly analogue and digital inputs and outputs (I/O) together with a simple built-in PLC, while its connectivity features include the Modbus RTU communications protocol for easy integration with PLCs and other control devices.
Small Footprint, Big Benefits
Thanks to its compact design and high power density, the Variable Speed Motor is at least two frame sizes smaller than comparable induction motors, making it suitable for installations where space is at a premium, such as in replacing older, inefficient motors.
Proven Cost and Carbon Savings
The possibilities for energy cost savings by switching to the LV Titanium are illustrated by comparing it with a conventional, standalone, fixed speed motor in a 7.5 kW centrifugal pumping application - one of the main sweet spots for the IE5 Variable Speed Motor. The annual savings on the electricity bill are estimated at well over Euro 4,000 based on a typical energy cost for Europe of Euro 0.21/kWh. At the same time, there is an yearly reduction of 6,000 kg in CO2 emissions based on the average European carbon intensity factor of 0.3 kg CO2/kWh
Ready to Scale for a Range of Industrial Needs
The LV Titanium Variable Speed Motor is currently available in smaller sizes from 1.5 kW while the platform will expand to cover applications up to 30 kW for a wide range of industrial sectors – from water treatment and chemical processing to food and beverage. In addition to being available off the shelf, the motor can be customised to suit specific customer requirements.
Future-Ready Performance with the LV Titanium Variable Speed Motor
With its groundbreaking efficiency, versatility, robustness, and compact design, the LV Titanium Variable Speed Motor is poised to transform industrial operations worldwide by offering a forward-thinking solution that not only meets current needs but also anticipates future industry demands.
