The Kufo TC16 is a three-phase induction motor built by Kufo. The rated output is 7.5 kW. The motor is two-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 3,000 rpm. The housing is frame size 132 M in foot-mounted form. The protection class is IP55. The efficiency is 89.3 per cent at full load, 89.6 per cent at 75 per cent load and 89 per cent at half load. The motor weighs 59 kg. The mounting arrangement to IEC 60034-7 is B3. The motor is built in Taiwan. The values are recorded in the Australian MEPS registration under standard AS/NZS 1359.5:2004; measured to IEC 60034-2-1 (Edition 2.0). Rated output within this group ranges from 0.18 to 1,119 kW; the TC16 sits at the bottom of that range with 7.5 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the 5KS215SAA1048A below it with 5.6 kW and the 24253544 above it with 9 kW.

KUFO – other models: the collective page of MEPS-registered three-phase motors from Taiwan outside the named ranges, frame size 132, 5.5 to 7.5 kW, two-pole

This page gathers the KUFO three-phase motors the Australian energy-efficiency register could not assign to a named range. The designations recorded in the register, SK-18CS and TC16, do not follow a uniformly recognisable public system; both motors do, however, share the same IEC frame size 132.

The register lists here 2 versions with 5.5 to 7.5 kW rated output, both two-pole, for a 415 V or 230/400 V supply, with full-load efficiencies from 87.7 to 89.3% and at 75% load from 87.7 to 89.61%. Protection ranges from IP54 to IP55, the mounting code is B3 (foot type), testing followed AS/NZS 1359.5:2004 with test method A. Manufacturing takes place in Taiwan.

Two-pole three-phase motors of this power class run at a synchronous speed of 3,000 rpm at 50 Hz and are a common drive for compressors, centrifugal pumps and sawmill machinery, where high speeds without a gearbox are wanted; the IP54 and IP55 ratings differ only in the degree of dust protection, both guarding against splashing water from all directions.

When buying used, bearing condition and a checked insulation resistance of the winding, the condition of the terminal box and fan cover, the condition of shaft and key, and a legible nameplate with frame size, pole count and protection rating matter. Spares run through KUFO's Taiwanese distribution.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the Kufo TC16 have?

The Kufo TC16 delivers 7.5 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.
