ABB launches LV Titanium motor in India to boost industrial efficiency and cut emissions.

ABB introduced the LV Titanium Variable Speed Motor platform in India, providing industrial users with a compact, plug-and-play solution that combines a high-efficiency motor and variable speed drive (VSD) technology. The platform helps to reduce energy use, prices, and carbon emissions.

The LV Titanium offers IE5 Ultra-Premium efficiency and is a direct replacement for traditional direct-on-line (DOL) induction motors. It is perfect for use in pumps, compressors, and related applications.

Switching to the LV Titanium in a 7.5 kW centrifugal pumping application can save roughly ₹1.8 lakh in annual electricity expenses (at ₹9/kWh) and cut CO₂ emissions by ~14,200 kg (source: Our World in Data).

The LV Titanium is a fully integrated system that combines a high-efficiency permanent magnet motor and a specially built driving module. The compact, axial form is ideal for installations with limited space. It also has a high torque at low speeds and runs quietly.

Plug-and-play functionality eliminates the requirement for commissioning or specific installation because the motor and drive are preconfigured in the factory. The motor has an intuitive control panel, a built-in PLC, and a Modbus RTU interface for simple system integration.

The LV Titanium is available in sizes ranging from 1.5 kW to 30 kW, with intentions to expand into areas including water treatment, chemicals, and food and beverages. Custom solutions are also available.

Stefan Floeck, Division President of ABB’s IEC Low Voltage Motors, stated, “The LV Titanium was created in partnership with customers to achieve energy savings and minimise carbon emissions without requiring difficult installation. This Variable Speed Motor provides excellent performance in a small, user-friendly, speed-controlled motor design that leverages our decades of application experience.”
