The LA YE3-160M2-2 is a three-phase induction motor from the LA range. 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 160M2. The protection class is IP55. The efficiency is 91 per cent at full load, 90.9 per cent at 75 per cent load and 89.3 per cent at half load. The mounting arrangement to IEC 60034-7 is B35. The motor is built in China. The data is based on the Australian MEPS registration under the GEMS Determination 2019; measured to IEC 60034-2-1 (Edition 2.0). Rated output across the LA range ranges from 7.5 to 37 kW; the YE3-160M2-2 sits in the lower part of that range with 15 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the YE3-160M1-2 below it with 11 kW and the YE3-180M-2 above it with 22 kW. 6 LA models are on record. The model is listed under Electric motors. 21 verified figures from 1 source are on file.

LA – other models: the collective page of MEPS-registered YE3 three-phase motors outside the named ranges, manufactured in China, two-pole, 7.5 to 37 kW, consistently IP55 protection and B35 mounting

This page gathers the three-phase motors recorded in the Australian energy-efficiency register under the code LA, which the register could not assign to a named range. Model designations such as YE3-160M1-2 or YE3-200L2-2 belong to the Chinese YE3 range, a development of the older Y and YE2 ranges marking the IE3 efficiency class; the digits after the hyphen give the frame size (132 to 200) and pole count (2).

The register lists here 6 versions with 7.5 to 37 kW, exclusively two-pole, at a supply voltage of 415 V. Full-load efficiencies range from 90.42 to 93.77%, and at 75% load from 90.18 to 93.63%. Protection is consistently IP55, the mounting form consistently B35, and frame sizes run from 132S2 to 200L2. China is recorded as the manufacturing country; testing followed the 2019 GEMS determination for three-phase motors with test method 2-1-1B, and two of the six motors reach the 2018 High Efficiency Level (roughly IE3).

The two-pole YE3 range covers the high-speed segment of compact three-phase motors for pumps, compressors and fans, as offered by numerous Chinese makers for export to countries with MEPS regulations such as Australia.

When buying used, bearing condition and a checked insulation resistance of the winding, the visible condition of the terminal box and fan cover, the condition of shaft and key, and a legible nameplate with frame size and pole count matter; on the two-pole, high-speed motors, bearing play and running smoothness are also worth checking. Spares run through the relevant importer.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the LA YE3-160M2-2 have?

The LA YE3-160M2-2 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.
