The Techtop TCP 160L-2 comes from the TCP series. The rated output is 18.5 kW. The motor is two-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 3,000 rpm. The housing is frame size 160L in foot-mounted form. The protection class is IP55. The efficiency is 92.7 per cent at full load, 93.2 per cent at 75 per cent load and 92.9 per cent at half load. Mounting arrangements to IEC 60034-7: B3, B5, B35 and V1. The motor is built in China. The values are recorded in the Australian MEPS registration under the GEMS Determination 2019; measured to AS/NZS 1359.102.3:2000. The TCP series covers 27 models. Rated output within it ranges from 11 to 132 kW; the TCP 160L-2 sits at the bottom of that range with 18.5 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the TCP 160M2-2 below it with 15 kW and the TCP 180L-4 above it with 22 kW. 204 Techtop models across 6 series are on record.

Techtop TCP – register of three-phase motors with five-way voltage 400/415/440/480/690 V: 27 versions, 11 to 132 kW, 2- to 6-pole, IP55, High Efficiency Level 2005, made in China

The TCP range at Techtop covers three-phase industrial motors in the medium to upper power range. The model designation follows the pattern TCP plus frame size and pole count, for example TCP 225M-6 for the six-pole version of frame size 225M or TCP 280M-2 for the two-pole 280M version.

The register lists here 27 versions with 11 to 132 kW, two- to six-pole. Full-load efficiencies range from 91.3 to 95.9% and at 75% load from 91.8 to 95.9%; all 27 versions reach the High Efficiency Level 2005 classification. All motors are built for the voltage combination 400/415/440/480/690 V and carry protection rating IP55 with a uniform mounting code B3/B5/B35/V1. Manufacturing is in China, tested to the GEMS 2019 determinations with test method A.

With its wide voltage rating from 400 to 690 V and consistent High Efficiency classification, TCP targets export to countries with different low-voltage grids; in the 11 to 132 kW power range the range covers typical applications in pumps, fans, compressors and conveyors.

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, the condition of shaft and key, and a legible nameplate with frame size, pole count and the full voltage rating of 400/415/440/480/690 V, which must be observed when reconnecting.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the Techtop TCP 160L-2 have?

The Techtop TCP 160L-2 delivers 18.5 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.
