Investors may want to watch how the separation from ABB and integration into SoftBank are structured, including any impact on ABB’s remaining portfolio, capital allocation plans and exposure to the robotics segment after the deal. Anuncio • May 15
ABB Offers Magnet-Free IE6 Motor for Hazardous Areas ABB was the world's first manufacturer to offer an IE6 Hyper–Efficiency motor certified to ATEX and IECEx requirements for use in hazardous areas. The new IE6 Increased safety motor, based on ABB's magnet- and rare earth- free synchronous reluctance (SynRM) technology, offers up to 60 percent lower energy losses than the IE3 induction motors commonly used in Zones 1 and 2. This enables operators to realize a major boost in energy efficiency and avoided carbon emissions in industries where gas, vapor or dust might be present, such as chemicals, marine, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals and food & beverage. The IE6 SynRM Increased safety motor is certified for use with variable speed drives (VSDs) to offer accurate control and high efficiency throughout the whole speed range, even at partial loads. This makes it the ideal upgrade for standard IE3 induction motors in pumps, fans and compressors. Over a typical 20-year service life, the energy savings from switching just one motor up to IE6 would be EUR 87.52 million, resulting in an eight-month payback period with 157,540 kg CO2 avoided—equivalent to 37 gasoline powered passenger cars driven for a year. The new IE6 SynRM Increased safety motor covers ratings from 110 kW, with IE5 versions available for up to 90 kW. As well as increased reliability and reduced maintenance, SynRM technology enables a more cost-effective installation. In Zone 1, cooler running can allow the use of an Increased safety SynRM motor where a Flameproof motor with a special enclosure would be the traditional choice. Furthermore, in Zone 2, the improved loadability of SynRM motors enables more power from the same size as an equivalent induction motor. This could enable a smaller, lower-cost motor to fulfil the same duty. ABB's IE6 and IE5 SynRM technology is part of the industry's broadest portfolio of IEC LV motors for hazardous areas, with induction alternatives up to IE4 efficiency level. Whatever the technology, these motors combine robust construction, high energy efficiency, and reliable operation to deliver trusted performance and certified safety in the most demanding environments.

ABB Introduces HiPerGuard 34.5kV UPS ABB is introducing HiPerGuard 34.5kV, a new version of its breakthrough medium voltage UPS, enabling AI data centers to connect directly to the grid without voltage conversion, improving efficiency and simplifying infrastructure. With this latest innovation, HiPerGuard's microgrid-ready architecture enables flexible integration of battery storage, gas, and renewables with grid support and peak shaving capabilities. Global data center demand is forecast to rise from 80 GW in 2024 to reach around 220 GW by 2030. Workloads are expected to account for around 70% of this growth. ABB is working with AI leaders and data center operators to engineer a new class of data center power infrastructure through integrated, end-to-end power systems designed for flexibility, reliability, efficiency, and scalable performance at AI scale. Data centers will leverage the HiPerGuard 34.5kV's microgrid-ready architecture to combine distributed power generation with battery energy storage. The system accommodates diverse energy sources – gas turbines, renewable generation, and grid connection – providing operators with flexibility to optimize resilience and efficiency. Integration with ABB's Power Exchanger technology enables battery management and grid support functions, allowing data center operators to perform peak shaving and frequency regulation services. Operating at 98% efficiency, HiPerGuard's direct 34.5kV connection reduces voltage conversion losses, valued at approximately $880,000 per year for every one percent efficiency gain in a 100 MW AI data center. The simplified architecture also reduces copper cabling requirements substantially. And, with 20-25% less footprint and fewer devices and cabling runs, operators gain both space and significant infrastructure cost savings. The system's repeatable and flexible architecture supports incremental capacity expansion through parallel configurations up to 25 MW, enabling operators to grow without complete infrastructure overhauls. As AI workloads intensify and power requirements shift, the system's plug-and-play converter design allows rapid adaptation and integration of emerging technologies. ABB announced the introduction of HiPerGuard 34.5kV at Data Center World Washington 2026, where it was also recognized by UL Solutions as the first product of its kind to achieve certification to UL 9540 – the industry's highest energy storage standard. The HiPerGuard portfolio is both IEC and UL Certified with voltage levels from 4.16kV to 34.5kV and will be available to order in summer 2026. ABB's HiPerGuard installed base is growing across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, including major deployments at Applied Digital's 400 MW and 300 MW AI data center campuses in North Dakota.

ABB Reportedly Weighs Sale of Robotics Arm as Alternative to Spinoff ABB Ltd. (SWX:ABBN) is exploring a potential sale of the robotics unit, which could be worth more than $3.5 billion, as an alternative to the main spinoff plan, according to people familiar with the matter. The Swiss industrial giant is close to appointing advisers for a sale as well as the listing, which it announced last month, the people said, asking not to be identified because the talks are private. The business could be worth about $3.5 billion, in line with analyst estimates, or as much as $5 billion, some of the people said. If ABB pursues a sale instead of the preferred option of a spinoff, the unit could attract interest from private equity firms, the people said. “Should ABB be approached, it is the duty of the executive committee and board to thoroughly evaluate all proposals,” the company said in an emailed statement in response to Bloomberg News query. However, “we believe that a spinoff is the best option to optimize the respective companies’ abilities to create customer value.” ABB in April said it plans to spin off and list the robotics unit in the second quarter of 2026. It was one of the first major strategic moves by the firm’s new Chief Executive Officer Morten Wierod who took the helm at the company in August last year. The spinoff, if successful, will see ABB shareholders receive stock in the future listed company. The plan is to list the business in Sweden or Switzerland, though the Swiss manufacturer has not excluded other venues. Recent Insider Transactions • May 08

Abb Launches Next-Generation Medium Voltage Drive, Designed to Enhance Industrial Performance and Reliability ABB has launched the ACS8080, its newest medium voltage air-cooled drive. The new drive represents an evolution, building on over 50 years of experience in delivering drives to industrial applications and bringing reliability, performance, and flexibility to the next level due to innovative motor control, versatile design, and digital capabilities. The converter can achieve up to 98% efficiency, targeting optimal performance for the entire drive system. The new motor control technology MP3C pushes efficiency and motor friendliness to the limit, while preserving the dynamic performance and robustness of the predecessor DTC. It also reduces harmonic distortions by around 50% compared to classic control and modulation schemes, thereby extending equipment lifetime and achieving energy savings. Designed for versatility and ease of integration, the new ACS8080 easily adapts to a wide range of applications and industries. The modular and flexible design includes the possibility of utilizing an external transformer and selecting a sine filter option, making it an optimal match not only for new applications, but also for retrofitting existing drive systems or direct online machines. A high degree of flexibility is also possible due to the advanced digital features: the integration of the open software platform, Crealizer, into the ABB drive operating system allows for advanced programming capabilities that enable the rapid development and deployment of innovative application-specific functionalities, reducing reliance on external controllers. The leaner design of the ACS8080 translates into a lower number of components than its predecessors, increasing reliability but also simplifying maintenance and service processes. For this new drive, being reliable also means being able to withstand extreme conditions, and this has been tested through rigorous accelerated lifetime tests carried out in the ABB Drives testing facility in Estonia, simulating 20 years of operations. Enhanced sensing capabilities and a next generation control hardware enable the collection of up to 10 times more diagnostic data for better and faster monitoring solutions. The new ABB Connectivity Edge Gateway allows connectivity whether on premises or to the cloud, making it an optimal fit for many digital needs. The built-in sensing solutions enable Asset Health and Performance Management capabilities, reliability monitoring, and data supported inspection for faster troubleshooting and failure detection. Fully embedded in the new drive are advanced safety and protection systems designed to prevent foreseeable hazardous situations and effectively manage unexpected ones. The new ACS8080 is developed to protect against unauthenticated access, malicious firmware, data breaches, and insecure connectivity allowing customers to benefit from all modern digital capabilities.
