ELGi – other models: the collective page of three-phase motors from the Indian compressor maker outside the named ranges, 3 to 75 kW, 2- to 4-pole, IP55, High Efficiency Level 2018
This page gathers the ELGi three-phase motors the Australian energy-efficiency register (GEMS/MEPS) could not assign to a named range. ELGi Equipments, headquartered in Coimbatore, India, and founded in 1960, is known chiefly as a compressor manufacturer, and the motors recorded in the register serve chiefly to drive its compressors. The model names mostly follow the IEC scheme of frame size and pole count, for example 160L-4 for the four-pole 160L version, alongside internal codes such as X100078.

The register lists here 29 versions with 3 to 75 kW, two- to four-pole, at a uniform mains voltage of 400 V. Full-load efficiencies range from 87.21 to 95.04% and at 75% load from 86.89 to 94.73%; all 29 versions reach the High Efficiency Level 2018 classification. Frame sizes run from 100 to 280 under IEC, all motors carry protection rating IP55, mounting codes cover B3, B35 and their combination; manufacturing is mainly in China, with a smaller share in India, tested to the GEMS 2019 determinations with test method 2-1-1B.
As a drive for compressors, pumps and other industrial applications, the motor programme complements ELGi's core compressor business; the uniform High Efficiency Level 2018 classification shows a programme aligned with current efficiency requirements.
When buying used, what matters is bearing condition and a checked insulation resistance of the winding, visible overheating marks on the terminal box and fan cover, the condition of shaft and key, and a legible nameplate with frame size, pole count and efficiency class. Spares and service run through the ELGi sales network, particularly where the motor is fitted directly to an ELGi compressor.

The Elgi 180L-4 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.
