General Electric – other models: the collective page of MEPS-registered 5K-range three-phase motors outside the named versions, frame sizes 80 to 280, 0.75 to 90 kW, manufactured in China and Mexico
This page gathers the General Electric three-phase motors the Australian energy-efficiency register could not assign to its own range. General Electric, founded in 1892 in the USA, is one of the world's oldest electrical engineering groups and built one of the best-known North American standard-motor ranges with the 5K series. The designations recorded in the register, such as 5K100LBIM2013 or 5K280MBIM2013, start with the 5K range code, followed by the IEC frame size (80 to 280) and a letter for the build form (S, M or L); the register also lists the separate designation 5KFS162XAA for four further versions.

The register lists here 15 versions with 0.75 to 90 kW rated output, two- to four-pole, at a supply voltage of 415 V or optionally 380/400/415 V. Full-load efficiencies range from 73.4 to 94%, and at 75% load from 73.7 to 94%. Protection is uniformly IP55, frame sizes run from 80 to 280; China (11) and Mexico (4) are recorded as manufacturing countries. Testing mostly followed the older AS/NZS 1359.5:2000 standard (10), alongside the 2012 GEMS determination (4) and AS/NZS 1359.5:2004 (1); four of the 15 motors reach the 2005 High Efficiency Level, the remaining eleven stay unclassified. The mounting form is mostly B3 (12 versions).
With this range, General Electric serves the North American and Australia-Pacific markets for classic industrial standard motors, competing with Baldor, Marathon and Asian suppliers; the mix of older models registered under the Legacy standard and newer 2012 GEMS versions shows a range built up over many years.
When buying used, on the older motors tested under the Legacy standard, winding condition and a checked insulation resistance matter especially; on all versions, bearing, shaft and key condition and visible corrosion on the terminal box and fan cover matter; a legible nameplate with frame size, pole count and, where present, the efficiency-level mark helps with assessment. Spares run through the GE distribution network.

Frequently asked questions
How much power does the General Electric 5K90LFIM2013 have?
The General Electric 5K90LFIM2013 delivers 1.5 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.
