The Jlem JL1-160M2-2 is a three-phase induction motor built by Jlem. The rated output is 15 kW. The motor is two-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 3,000 rpm. The rated voltage is 415 V. The housing is frame size 160 M in foot-mounted form. The protection class is IP55. The efficiency is 92.1 per cent at full load, 91.8 per cent at 75 per cent load and 90.4 per cent at half load. The mounting arrangement to IEC 60034-7 is B3. The motor is built in China. The data is based on the Australian MEPS registration under the GEMS Determination 2012; measured to IEC 60034-2-1 (Edition 2.0). Rated output across the Jlem range ranges from 3 to 160 kW; the JL1-160M2-2 sits at the bottom of that range with 15 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the JM3 160M-2-11.00kW380 below it with 11 kW and the JM3 160L-2-18.50kW380 above it with 18.5 kW. 18 Jlem models across 2 series are on record.

JLEM is a manufacturer name carried in the Australian energy-efficiency register for three-phase motors; no further confirmed company data is available. This page gathers the JLEM motors the register (GEMS/MEPS) could not assign to a named range. The model designations JL1-132S1-2, JL1-132S2-2, JL1-160M1-2 and JL1-160M2-2 follow a scheme of frame size (132, 160), a build-length code (S1, S2, M1, M2) and the pole count at the end; JM3-315L1-4, with frame size 315, marks the largest version in the register.

The register lists here 5 versions with 5.5 to 160 kW rated output, two- to four-pole, at voltages from 400 to 415 V. Full-load efficiency ranges from 88.9 to 95.7%, and at 75% load from 88.7 to 95.8%. Protection is IP55 on four motors and IP45 on one; frame sizes run from 132 to 315. Testing mostly followed the 2012 GEMS determination and, for one version, the 2019 determination, with test method B or 2-1-1B; four of the five versions are assessed for High Efficiency classification and none reaches a High Efficiency Level. The mounting form is B3 on four motors, extended with B35 and V18 on one.

With a span from 5.5 to 160 kW, the range covers both smaller standard motors and larger versions for pumps, fans, compressors and conveying plant in industry; the mostly two-pole design of the smaller frame sizes points to high-speed applications.

When buying used, bearing condition and a checked insulation resistance of the winding, the condition of shaft and key, visible corrosion on the terminal box and fan cover, and a legible nameplate with frame size, pole count and voltage matter; on the IP45 version, use in dusty or damp environments should be checked beforehand. Spares run through the relevant JLEM distribution.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the Jlem JL1-160M2-2 have?

The Jlem JL1-160M2-2 delivers 15 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.
