The Fasco Able Y2-280M-4 is a three-phase induction motor. The rated output is 90 kW. The motor is four-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 1,500 rpm. The rated voltage is 415 V. The housing is frame size 280 M in foot-mounted form. The protection class is IP55. The efficiency is 94.9 per cent at full load, 94.9 per cent at 75 per cent load and 93.6 per cent at half load. Mounting arrangements to IEC 60034-7: B3, B35 and B5. The motor is built in China. The figures come from the Australian MEPS register under standard AS/NZS 1359.5:2000 (Legacy); measured to IEC 60034-2-1 (Edition 2.0). Rated output across the Fasco Able range ranges from 0.75 to 160 kW; the Y2-280M-4 sits in the middle of that range with 90 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the Y2-280S-4 below it with 75 kW and the Y-315S-4 above it with 110 kW. 30 Fasco Able models are on record.

Fasco Able – other models: the collective page of MEPS-registered three-phase motors outside the named ranges, 0.75 to 160 kW, 2- to 6-pole, 415 V, IP55, made in China

This page gathers the Fasco Able three-phase motors the Australian energy-efficiency register (GEMS/MEPS) could not assign to a named range. The model names follow two schemes: the MS and Y series encode frame size and pole count in the IEC pattern common in China, for example MS160L-4 for a four-pole motor of frame size 160L or Y-280S-4 for the four-pole 280S version; alongside them are models such as MS801 and MS802 with their own numbering scheme.

The register lists here 30 versions with 0.75 to 160 kW, two- to six-pole, uniformly rated for 415 V. Full-load efficiencies range from 75.6 to 95.3% and at 75% load from 75.8 to 94.9%; none of the motors carries a High Efficiency classification. Frame sizes run from 80 to 315 under IEC, all motors carry protection rating IP55 with mounting codes from B3/B5/B14 to B3/B35/B5; manufacturing is exclusively in China, tested to the older AS/NZS 1359.5:2000 standard with test method B.

With a power band from under a kilowatt to 160 kW, the programme covers both small auxiliary drives and large industrial motors for pumps, fans and compressors; the uniform 415 V rating and older test standard point to a programme positioned mainly in the price-sensitive spares business for IEC standard motors.

When buying used or replacing, 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 voltage. Since none of the motors carries a current High Efficiency classification, an efficiency comparison with newer IE2/IE3 models is worthwhile when replacing.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the Fasco Able Y2-280M-4 have?

The Fasco Able Y2-280M-4 delivers 90 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.
