WAT lists the Q3H160M2D 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 rated voltage is 400 V. The housing is frame size 160 M in foot-mounted form. The protection class is IP55. The efficiency is 92 per cent at full load, 91.8 per cent at 75 per cent load and 90.2 per cent at half load. The mounting arrangement to IEC 60034-7 is V1. The motor is built in Turkey. The data is based on the Australian MEPS registration under the GEMS Determination 2019; measured to IEC 60034-2-1 (Edition 2.0). Rated output across the WAT range ranges from 0.75 to 22 kW; the Q3H160M2D sits in the upper part of that range with 15 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the Q3H132M2A below it with 11 kW and the Q3H160L2C above it with 18.5 kW. 11 WAT models are on record.

WAT – other models: the collective page for two-pole three-phase motors outside the named series, frame sizes 80 to 160, 0.75 to 22 kW, flange and vertical mounting only, made in Turkey

This page gathers three-phase motors from the Turkish manufacturer WAT that the register does not assign to a named series. The type plates Q3H112M2D through Q3H160L2D combine a series code with the IEC frame size and the pole count 2; every model on this collective page is built consistently as two-pole, and so designed for high speeds around 2,900 revolutions per minute.

The register lists 11 versions with 0.75 to 22 kW rated output, two-pole throughout, at supply voltages of 400 V or 230/400 V. Full-load efficiency ranges from 80.7 to 92.7%, and at 75% load from 79.7 to 92.7%. Frame sizes span 80 to 160, and the protection class is IP55 throughout.

The exclusive use of the V1 and V18 mounting codes shows that this range is not designed as a classic foot-mounted motor but consistently for flange or vertical mounting, as is common for pumps or compressors flanged directly to the motor. The consistent restriction to two poles underlines a focus on fast-running applications.

For a replacement, these motors call above all for the mounting code, V1 or V18, to match the existing mounting interface exactly, since conversion to foot mounting is not provided for in this range. Winding condition and bearing noise should be checked especially carefully given the high operating speeds of the two-pole motors.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the WAT Q3H160M2D have?

The WAT Q3H160M2D 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.
