The Moto Technik CDF15/B3/4 is a three-phase induction motor from the CDF1.5 B3 series. The rated output is 15 kW. The motor is four-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 1,500 rpm. The rated voltage is 415 V. The housing is frame size 160 L in foot-mounted form. The protection class is IP55. The efficiency is 89.8 per cent at full load, 90 per cent at 75 per cent load and 88.5 per cent at half load. The motor weighs 144 kg. At full load it delivers 98.2 Nm. Mounting arrangements to IEC 60034-7: B3, B5, B14, B35 and B34. The motor is built in China. The figures come from the Australian MEPS register under standard AS/NZS 1359.5:2000 (Legacy); measured to AS 1359.102.1:1997. The CDF1.5 B3 series covers 6 models. Rated output within it ranges from 1.5 to 15 kW; the CDF15/B3/4 sits at the top of that range with 15 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the CDF1.5/B3/6 below it with 1.5 kW. 88 Moto Technik models across 6 series are on record.

Moto-Technik CDF1.5/B3 – three-phase standard motors from China: B3 foot mounting, frame sizes 90 to 180, 1.5 to 15 kW, 2- to 6-pole, IP55 protection, efficiency up to 89.85%

Moto-Technik sells three-phase standard motors in foot-mounted form (B3) under the CDF range, registered on the Australian energy-efficiency register MEPS. The type designation, for example CDF1.5/B3/4 or CDF15/B3/6, combines the power code before the slash with the B3 mounting form and the pole count as the last digit; the pole count matches the 2 to 6 range carried in the register.

The register lists here 6 versions with 1.5 to 15 kW rated output, 2- to 6-pole, at a voltage of 415 V. Full-load efficiency ranges from 77.4 to 89.85%, and at 75% load from 77.7 to 89.95%. Frame sizes run from 90 to 180, and all six motors carry IP55 protection. Testing followed the legacy standard AS/NZS 1359.5:2000 using test method B.

With frame sizes up to 180, the CDF1.5/B3 range covers the mid power band of three-phase foot-mounted motors used for pumps, fans and medium-duty conveying equipment. The range is manufactured in China.

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, and a legible nameplate with frame size, pole count and protection rating. The mounting codes B3, B5, B14, B34 and B35 show the motors can also be fitted in other positions via adapters. Spares run through the relevant distributor.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the Moto Technik CDF15/B3/4 have?

The Moto Technik CDF15/B3/4 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.
