Techtop lists the TCI 160M2-2 as 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 91.8 per cent at full load, 92.1 per cent at 75 per cent load and 91.2 per cent at half load. The motor is built in China. 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 Techtop range ranges from 0.75 to 160 kW; the TCI 160M2-2 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 TCI – three-phase motor range from the Chinese manufacturer, frame sizes 80 to 315, 0.75 to 160 kW, 2- to 8-pole, IP55

This page gathers the TCI range motors from Techtop as listed in the Australian energy-efficiency register. Techtop is a Chinese supplier of three-phase motors; the type designations, such as TCI 100L-2 or TCI 160M1-2, follow the scheme TCI <frame size><length>-<pole count>, analogous to the IEC frame-size logic.

The register lists here 63 versions with 0.75 to 160 kW, two- to eight-pole, full-load efficiencies from 72.3 to 95.2% and at 75% load from 73.3 to 95.2%. Frame sizes run from 80 to 315, all motors are recorded with IP55 protection. China is recorded throughout as the manufacturing country. Testing followed the 2019 GEMS determination throughout, with test method A; of 63 motors, 13 carry a documented High Efficiency Level (2005, roughly IE2), the remaining 50 stay unclassified.

With the TCI range, Techtop covers the classic field of industrial IEC standard motors and thus appears in the Australian market, alongside numerous other Chinese suppliers, as a value alternative to the big international brands.

When buying used, what matters is bearing condition and a checked insulation resistance of the winding, visible corrosion on the terminal box and fan cover, the condition of shaft and key, and a legible nameplate with frame size, pole count and, where present, the efficiency class; only just under one in five motors here even carries a High Efficiency classification. Spares run through Techtop's distribution.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the Techtop TCI 160M2-2 have?

The Techtop TCI 160M2-2 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.
