The Techtop TAP 160L-4 is a three-phase induction motor from the Techtop range. The rated output is 15 kW. The motor is four-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 1,500 rpm. The housing is frame size 160L in foot-mounted form. The protection class is IP55. The efficiency is 92.6 per cent at full load, 93 per cent at 75 per cent load and 92.5 per cent at half load. Mounting arrangements to IEC 60034-7: B3, B5, B35 and V1. The motor is built in China. The data is based on the Australian MEPS registration under the GEMS Determination 2019; measured to AS/NZS 1359.102.3:2000. Rated output across the Techtop range ranges from 0.75 to 160 kW; the TAP 160L-4 sits at the bottom of that range with 15 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the TCP 160M1-2 below it with 11 kW and the TAI 160L-2 above it with 18.5 kW. 204 Techtop models are on record. The model is listed under Electric motors. 22 verified figures from 1 source are on file.

Techtop TAP – range: three-phase motors from China, all with the 2005 High Efficiency Level under GEMS, frame sizes 100 to 160 (foot mount), 0.75 to 30 kW, 2- to 6-pole

This page covers the TAP range from Techtop in the Australian energy-efficiency register (GEMS/MEPS). Type designations such as TAP 160L-4 or TAP/TCP 100L-2 give the frame size and frame length under IEC and the pole count after the hyphen; some models are additionally listed as a TCP variant. Techtop manufactures the motors in China.

The register lists here 36 versions with 0.75 to 30 kW, two- to six-pole. Efficiency at full load ranges from 80 to 93.8%, and at 75% load from 80.3 to 94%. All 36 motors carry the IP55 rating, are mounted to codes B3, B5, B35 and V1, and come in foot sizes from 100L to 160M. Testing consistently followed the 2019 GEMS determination using test method A; all 36 motors reach the 2005 High Efficiency Level.

The TAP range thus represents Techtop's base line-up, which in the power band up to 30 kW appears exclusively in the High Efficiency class, setting it apart from simpler standard motors without an efficiency classification; in the MEPS register the range competes with other Chinese and international makers of standardised IEC motors.

When buying used, check the condition of the rolling bearings, a measured winding insulation resistance, a legible nameplate showing frame size, pole count and efficiency class, and an undamaged fan cover and terminal box. Since all motors carry the High Efficiency classification, it is worth comparing the efficiency of a replacement motor against the original when swapping units; spares for the common IEC frame sizes 100 to 160 are usually available independent of the manufacturer.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the Techtop TAP 160L-4 have?

The Techtop TAP 160L-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.
