With the AMHE 100L BA2, Lafert offers a three-phase induction motor in the AMHE series. The rated output is 4 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 100 L in foot-mounted form. The protection class is IP55. The efficiency is 88.9 per cent at full load, 88.7 per cent at 75 per cent load and 86.9 per cent at half load. Mounting arrangements to IEC 60034-7: B3, B5, B14, B34 and B35. The motor is built in Italy. The figures come from the Australian MEPS register under the GEMS Determination 2019; measured to AS/NZS 1359.102.3:2000. The AMHE series covers 28 models. Rated output within it ranges from 0.75 to 15 kW; the AMHE 100L BA2 sits in the lower part of that range with 4 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the AMHE 100L BA below it with 3 kW and the AMHE 132S RA above it with 5.5 kW. 97 Lafert models across 5 series are on record.

Lafert AMHE – register of Italian three-phase motors from San Donà di Piave: 28 versions, 0.75 to 15 kW, 2- to 4-pole, IP55, frame sizes 80 to 160, made entirely in Italy

The AMHE range belongs to the Italian manufacturer Lafert, headquartered in San Donà di Piave (Veneto), founded in 1968, which builds standard three-phase motors as well as special motors. The model designation consists of AMHE, the frame size and a letter for the winding or build variant, for example AMHE 132M ZA4 for the four-pole Z variant of frame size 132M or AMHE 90L BA for the two-pole B variant of frame size 90L.

The register lists here 28 versions with 0.75 to 15 kW, two- to four-pole. Full-load efficiencies range from 80.27 to 91.8% and at 75% load from 80.42 to 92.31%. Frame sizes run from 80 to 160 under IEC, all motors carry protection rating IP55; mains voltage recorded is 400 V as well as the combinations 400/690 V and 230/400 V. Manufacturing is entirely in Italy, tested partly to the GEMS 2012 determinations and partly to the 2019 ones, with test methods A, B and 2-1-1B.

In the lower power range up to 15 kW, AMHE is positioned as a standard motor for pumps, fans and smaller machine drives, competing in the European market with the standard-motor ranges of ABB and Siemens; full manufacturing in Italy sets Lafert apart from competitors in this power segment, which mostly produce in Asia.

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, pole count and voltage. Spares and rewind service run through the Lafert sales network.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the Lafert AMHE 100L BA2 have?

The Lafert AMHE 100L BA2 delivers 4 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.
