4 motors are registered for supply in Australia at 160 kW 8 pole, from 3 different brands. A 8 pole motor runs at a synchronous speed of 750 rpm on a 50 Hz supply. Registration means the motor may be supplied here. It is not a statement that it fits your application.
3 frame sizes · 14 recorded voltages · 31 mounting arrangements
IEC: 315, 355, 355M
The number is the shaft centre height in millimetres and the letter is the frame length. It fixes how high the shaft sits and where the foot holes are, so a 132M from one manufacturer mounts like a 132M from another.
750 rpm — 750 rpm at 50 Hz, from 8 poles.
Full-load speed is lower than this by the motor's slip, and slip is not recorded in the register. Read it from the nameplate of the motor you are replacing.
Full-load efficiency across these registrations runs from 94.30% to 95.40%.
Over a motor's working life, running cost usually dwarfs purchase price, so this spread is worth more attention than it normally gets.
