The JKF HMC3-280S-2 is a three-phase induction motor built by JKF. 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 protection class is IP55. The efficiency is 94.9 per cent at full load, 94.7 per cent at 75 per cent load and 92.7 per cent at half load. The mounting arrangement to IEC 60034-7 is B3. The motor is built in Denmark. The figures come from the Australian MEPS register under standard AS/NZS 1359.5:2004; measured to IEC 60034-2-1 (Edition 2.0). Rated output across the JKF range ranges from 0.75 to 110 kW; the HMC3-280S-2 sits in the upper part of that range with 75 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the HMC3-250-2 below it with 55 kW and the HMC3-280M-2 above it with 90 kW. 20 JKF models are on record.

JKF – other models: the collective page of Danish-made three-phase motors outside the named ranges, HMA3 and HMC3 scheme, frame sizes 80 to 355, 0.75 to 110 kW, 2- to 4-pole

This page gathers the JKF three-phase motors the Australian energy-efficiency register could not assign to a named range. The designations in the register follow the scheme of range code HMA3 or HMC3, frame size, build length and pole count, such as HMC3-200L1-2 for the HMC3 range, frame size 200, length L1, two-pole; some models are recorded in lower case, such as hma3-112m1-2.

The register lists here 20 versions with 0.75 to 110 kW, two- to four-pole, full-load efficiencies from 84.21 to 95.73% and at 75% load from 83.96 to 95.85%. Frame sizes run from 80 to 355, supply voltage is uniformly 400 V, protection is consistently IP55. Manufacturing is in Denmark, testing used test method A under AS/NZS 1359.5:2004; none of the 20 motors reaches a High Efficiency Level.

Spanning small frame size 80 up to large frame size 355, JKF covers a broad field of three-phase motors for pumps, fans and conveyors, mostly in the standard foot version B3.

When buying used, 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 range, frame size and pole count matter; on the large frame sizes from 250 up, the lifting eyes and foundation fixing are also worth a look. Spares run through JKF's distribution.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the JKF HMC3-280S-2 have?

The JKF HMC3-280S-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.
