The HMC2 280S-2 belongs to the HMC2 series from Hoyer. The rated output is 75 kW. The motor is two-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 3,000 rpm. The rated voltage is 400 V. The housing is frame size 280 S in foot-mounted form. The efficiency is 93.8 per cent at full load, 93.8 per cent at 75 per cent load and 92.8 per cent at half load. The motor is built in China. The figures come from the Australian MEPS register under the GEMS Determination 2019; measured to IEC 60034-2-1 (Edition 2.0). The HMC2 series covers 30 models. Rated output within it ranges from 11 to 160 kW; the HMC2 280S-2 sits in the middle of that range with 75 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the HMC2 250M-4 below it with 55 kW and the HMC2 280M-2 above it with 90 kW. 97 Hoyer models across 5 series are on record.

Hoyer HMC2 – register of three-phase motors in the upper power range: 30 versions, 11 to 160 kW, 2- to 6-pole, protection ratings IP23 to IP66, frame sizes 160 to 315, made in China

The HMC2 range at Hoyer covers three-phase motors in the upper power range, whose model name carries frame size and version directly, for example HMC2 200L1-2 for the two-pole version of frame size 200L1 or HMC2 280M-4 for the four-pole 280M version.

The register lists here 30 versions with 11 to 160 kW, two- to six-pole, at a uniform mains voltage of 400 V. Full-load efficiencies range from 89.97 to 95.24% and at 75% load from 90.34 to 95.35%. Frame sizes run from 160 to 315 under IEC; the range covers protection ratings from IP23 to IP66 and mounting codes from the B3 foot mount to vertical forms such as V18 and V19, made in China and tested to the GEMS 2019 determinations with test method 2-1-1B.

With outputs from 11 to 160 kW, HMC2 targets medium to large industrial drives for pumps, fans, compressors and conveyors, where the wide choice of protection ratings and mounting forms allows use from dry indoor spaces to outdoor installation.

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, protection rating and mounting code; on the larger frame sizes from 250 upward it is also worth checking the rolling-bearing lubrication and any relubrication fittings.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the Hoyer HMC2 280S-2 have?

The Hoyer HMC2 280S-2 delivers 75 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.
