The TCIR160M2-2 from Scorpion Electric Motor is a three-phase induction motor. The rated output is 15 kW. The motor is two-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 3,000 rpm. The housing is frame size 160 M in foot-mounted form. The protection class is IP55. The efficiency is 91.4 per cent at full load, 91.4 per cent at 75 per cent load and 90.2 per cent at half load. Mounting arrangements to IEC 60034-7: B3, B5, B35, B14 and B34. The motor is built in China. The values are recorded in the Australian MEPS registration under the GEMS Determination 2012; measured to IEC 60034-2-1 (Edition 2.0). Rated output across the Scorpion Electric Motor range ranges from 1.1 to 90 kW; the TCIR160M2-2 sits in the lower part of that range with 15 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the YSS132M4 below it with 7.5 kW and the TCIR180M-2 above it with 22 kW. 22 Scorpion Electric Motor models are on record.

Scorpion Electric Motor – other models: the collective page of MEPS-registered three-phase motors outside the named ranges, MS, TAI, TCI and Y ranges, 1.1 to 90 kW, 2- to 6-pole, frame sizes 90 to 280

This page gathers the Scorpion Electric Motor three-phase motors the Australian energy-efficiency register could not assign to a named range. The designations in the register split across several families: the MS range, the TAI and TCI/TCIR ranges, and individual Y and YSS types, each carrying frame size and pole count in the name, such as TAI132M-4 for frame size 132 in a four-pole version. Some motors carry a dual voltage rating of 415/690 V, designed for star-delta operation on different supply voltages.

The register lists here 22 versions with 1.1 to 90 kW, two- to six-pole, full-load efficiencies from 80.2 to 95.2% and at 75% load from 80.6 to 95.2%. Frame sizes run from 90 to 280, protection is almost entirely IP55. Manufacturing is exclusively in China, testing mostly used test method B under the 2012 GEMS determination; none of the 22 motors reaches a documented High Efficiency Level.

With this broad range assembled from several families, Scorpion Electric Motor serves the mid-range power segment of the Australian market for IEC standard motors, with a focus on pump, fan and general drive applications.

When buying used, 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 range, frame size and pole count matter; on the 415/690 V versions, the correct star-delta connection at the terminal board should be checked. Spares run through the distribution for Chinese standard motors.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the Scorpion Electric Motor TCIR160M2-2 have?

The Scorpion Electric Motor TCIR160M2-2 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.
