Davey 865

Series: Other models

Davey lists the 865 as a three-phase induction motor. The rated output is 3.2 kW. The motor is two-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 3,000 rpm. The rated voltage is 415 V. The protection class is IP56. The efficiency is 87.5 per cent at full load, 88.2 per cent at 75 per cent load and 87.2 per cent at half load. The mounting arrangement to IEC 60034-7 is B3. The motor is built in Australia. The values are recorded in the Australian MEPS registration under the GEMS Determination 2019; measured to IEC 60034-2-1 (Edition 2.0). Rated output across the Davey range ranges from 1.3 to 3.2 kW; the 865 sits at the top of that range with 3.2 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the 863 below it with 2.65 kW. 9 Davey models are on record.

Davey – other electric motors: the collective page of Australian pump motors outside the named ranges, 'Davey Design' frame, 1.3 to 3.2 kW, IP56, some at High Efficiency Level 2018

This page gathers the Davey electric motors the Australian energy-efficiency register (GEMS/MEPS) could not assign to a named range. Davey is an Australian pump and drive technology maker headquartered in Scoresby, Victoria; the model numbers in the register, such as 858 or 869, are plain item numbers with no recognisable type code. The register consistently records the manufacturer's own designation 'Davey Design' as the frame size – the motors thus do not follow an IEC standard frame size but a maker-specific housing dimension, typical of drives permanently coupled to the pump.

The register lists here 9 versions with 1.3 to 3.2 kW, exclusively two-pole, at 415 V. Full-load efficiencies range from 85.1 to 87.67%, and at 75% load from 84.2 to 88.2%. Protection is uniformly IP56, manufacturing is exclusively in Australia. Testing followed the 2019 GEMS determination, with test methods 2-1-1B (5 motors) and B (4 motors); five of the nine motors reach the 2018 High Efficiency Level (roughly IE3), four remain unclassified.

The motors directly drive pump-adjacent applications such as home pressure systems, garden irrigation and small booster installations; manufacturing in Australia, rather than the industry's usual Chinese supplier base, positions Davey in the domestic market as a locally producing supplier.

When buying used, bearing condition and a checked insulation resistance of the winding, corrosion on the housing and fan cover – relevant especially for water and outdoor use –, the condition of the shaft seal towards the pump, and a legible nameplate with model number and efficiency class matter; since the motors are permanently coupled to the maker's own housing, replacement is usually only possible as a complete pump-motor unit. Spares run through Davey's Australian distribution.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the Davey 865 have?

The Davey 865 delivers 3.2 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.
