Sumitomo lists the GA-160L as a three-phase induction motor. 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 IP54. The efficiency is 92.5 per cent at full load, 92.7 per cent at 75 per cent load and 92 per cent at half load. The motor weighs 146 kg. At full load it delivers 97.7 Nm. The mounting arrangement to IEC 60034-7 is B5. The motor is built in Japan. The values are recorded in the Australian MEPS registration under the GEMS Determination 2019; measured to IEC 60034-2-1 (Edition 2.0). Rated output across the Sumitomo range ranges from 0.75 to 55 kW; the GA-160L sits in the lower part of that range with 15 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the GA-160M below it with 11 kW and the FA-180M above it with 18.5 kW. 62 Sumitomo models across 6 series are on record.

Sumitomo – other models: the collective page of MEPS-registered three-phase motors made in Japan and Vietnam outside the named ranges, FA, GA, N and VA series, frame sizes 80 to 225, 0.75 to 55 kW

This page gathers the Sumitomo three-phase motors the Australian energy-efficiency register could not assign to a named range. Model designations split into four ranges – FA, GA, N and VA – each followed by the IEC frame size and a letter for the build length (S, M, L); all 13 motors are four-pole. Manufacture is mostly in Japan, alongside Vietnam and a combination of both countries.

The register lists here 13 versions with 0.75 to 55 kW, exclusively four-pole, full-load efficiencies from 83.7 to 95.1% and at 75% load from 82.8 to 95.1%. Frame sizes run from 80 to 225, protection is IP54 and IP55, voltage is uniformly 415 V, mounting form is consistently B5. Testing followed the 2019 GEMS determination, mostly with test method B; of 13 motors, 3 reach the 2005 High Efficiency Level and 2 the 2018 level, the remaining 8 stay unclassified.

Sumitomo is one of the large Japanese industrial groups with its own drive-technology division; the four-pole standard motors on this page chiefly complement gear motors and planetary drives there into complete drive solutions for conveyors, agitators and packaging machinery.

When buying used, bearing condition and a checked insulation resistance of the winding, the condition of shaft, key and fan cover, a legible nameplate with range, frame size and efficiency class, and on the B5 flange motors the condition of the centring spigot on the bearing shield all matter; spares run through Sumitomo's distribution.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the Sumitomo GA-160L have?

The Sumitomo GA-160L 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.
