CMG XPA – MEPS-registered three-phase motors: frame sizes 160 to 315, 11 to 150 kW, 2- to 6-pole, IP66 protection, efficiency up to 96.4%
CMG is an Australian industrial-motor business that sells three-phase motors for the Australian market; according to the register entries, manufacturing is in China. This page gathers the XPA range: the first number of the designation gives the IEC frame size (160 to 315), the following letter the build form (S, M, MA, L), and the number after the hyphen the pole count. XPA 315MA-6 is thus a six-pole motor of frame size 315 in the MA version, XPA 160M-4 a four-pole motor of the smallest frame size, 160.

The register lists here 9 versions with 11 to 150 kW, two- to six-pole, full-load efficiencies from 92.2 to 96.4% and at 75% load from 92.4 to 96.4%. All motors are built to IP66 protection and rated for a 400 V supply. Testing followed the Australian 2012 GEMS determination, consistently with test method B; all 9 motors reach the 2005 High Efficiency Level. Eight of the nine motors offer the B3, B5 to B8 and B35 mounting types plus V1, V3, V5 and V6; one version adds B14, B34, V18 and V19.
With IP66 protection, higher than the typical IP55, the XPA motors are built for dusty and damp environments such as agriculture, mining, wash-down duty or outdoor installation. CMG positions the range as an alternative to the big international manufacturers for applications that need tighter sealing than standard IEC motors, such as conveyors or drives in food processing.
When buying used, the condition of the shaft seals that are critical to the IP66 rating, a checked insulation resistance of the winding, and the condition of bearings and fan cover all matter. A legible nameplate with frame size, pole count and efficiency class shows the exact version; anyone wanting to run the motor on a variable-speed drive should check its suitability beforehand. Spares run through CMG's Australian distribution.

The CMG XPA 180M-2 delivers 22 kW.
What to check before buying
- Match the data plate against the order: frame size, mounting and rating have to agree.
- Check the ingress rating against the installation site — outdoors or in dust the demands differ.
- Hold the mounting form and dimensions against the existing seat before ordering.
- The pole count sets the speed — when replacing an older unit, compare this first.
- For used units, ask about winding condition and bearing play.
- Ask about parts availability for this series — the running costs hang on it.
