Trojan lists the 37C280S-8 as a three-phase induction motor. The rated output is 37 kW. The motor is eight-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 750 rpm. The rated voltage is 415 V. The housing is frame size 280 S in foot-mounted form. The protection class is IP55. The efficiency is 92.5 per cent at full load, 92.2 per cent at 75 per cent load and 91.8 per cent at half load. The mounting arrangement to IEC 60034-7 is B3. The motor is built in China. The figures come from the Australian MEPS register under standard AS/NZS 1359.5:2004; measured to AS/NZS 1359.102.3:2000. Rated output across the Trojan range ranges from 0.75 to 200 kW; the 37C280S-8 sits in the lower part of that range with 37 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the MD1C250M-8 below it with 30 kW and the 45C225M-2 above it with 45 kW. 286 Trojan models are on record. The model is listed under Electric motors. 22 verified figures from 1 source are on file.

Trojan – other models: the collective page of three-phase motors from the Australian GEMS/MEPS register, 0.75 to 200 kW, 2- to 8-pole, IP55 throughout, Chinese manufacture, efficiencies up to 95.6%

This page gathers the three-phase motors registered under the Trojan brand in the Australian GEMS/MEPS register that could not be assigned to a named range. Nothing certain can be inferred from the register about Trojan's headquarters or group ownership; what is confirmed is that every model recorded here comes from Chinese manufacture. The type codes follow a recognisable pattern of power rating, range letter, IEC frame size and pole count – for instance 0.75C80A-2 for a 0.75 kW motor of the C range in frame 80A with two poles, or MD1A/MD1C as distinct range prefixes – but the precise technical meaning of the individual letters beyond the frame size cannot be reliably reconstructed from the register.

The register lists here 286 versions from 0.75 to 200 kW, 2- to 8-pole, with efficiencies from 70.5 to 95.6% at full load and 70 to 99.2% at 75% load, all in protection class IP55 and frame sizes from 80 (IEC) upwards. No GEMS "High Efficiency Level" classification is recorded for any of the 286 models.

With a power span reaching 200 kW, the brand also covers larger drive ratings than many other parts of the register in this size class; without confirmed manufacturer information, Trojan's market role can only be read from the register data itself – as a supplier of consistently IP55-rated standard motors for the Australian and New Zealand market.

For used Trojan motors, the usual checkpoints for standard motors apply: measure the winding's insulation resistance, check the bearings for running noise and play, check the shaft turns freely, assess the condition of the fan and fan cowl, and match the rating plate – frame size, pole count and efficiency class – against the intended application. For inverter operation, check separately whether the winding insulation and bearings are rated for it, since the register contains no data on this.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the Trojan 37C280S-8 have?

The Trojan 37C280S-8 delivers 37 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.
