The WEG K16 ALE2 is a three-phase induction motor. The rated output is 2.2 kW. The motor is four-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 1,500 rpm. The rated voltage is 415 V. The housing is frame size 100 L in foot-mounted form. The protection class is IP55. The efficiency is 86.5 per cent at full load, 86.5 per cent at 75 per cent load and 85.1 per cent at half load. The motor weighs 35 kg. At full load it delivers 14.74 Nm. The motor is built in Brazil. The values are recorded in the Australian MEPS registration under standard AS/NZS 1359.5:2004; measured to IEC 60034-2-1 (Edition 2.0). Rated output across the WEG range ranges from 0.75 to 160 kW; the K16 ALE2 sits at the bottom of that range with 2.2 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the KTE12B PHEM below it with 1.5 kW and the K22 ALE2 above it with 3 kW. 433 WEG models are on record. The model is listed under Electric motors. 24 verified figures from 1 source are on file.

WEG K16 – three-phase motor from the Brazilian manufacturer in Jaraguá do Sul: frame size 100, four-pole, 2.2 kW, IP55, five build variants with almost identical efficiency

K16 is a three-phase motor range from WEG, the Brazilian electric motor manufacturer headquartered in Jaraguá do Sul in Santa Catarina. The five versions listed carry the suffixes ALE2, BRKLE2, EXDE2, EXNE2 and STDE2, marking different build variants within the range.

The register lists five versions with 2.2 kW rated output throughout, four poles, and an efficiency span of 86.4 to 86.5% at both full load and 75% load. Frame size stays at 100 across all models, protection is IP55 throughout, and the voltage entry is 415 V. Manufacturing takes place in Brazil, tested under the AS/NZS 1359.5:2004 standard, using test method B throughout. The mounting code covers practically the whole IEC spectrum across all five versions, from foot forms B3 to B8, through flange forms B14, B34 and B35, to vertical forms V1 to V36.

With five different build variants at practically identical efficiency, K16 covers a mid output step in WEG's broad programme of IEC standard motors, through which the group ranks among the largest electric motor manufacturers worldwide.

When buying used or swapping, check bearing condition, insulation resistance of the winding, visible overheating traces on the terminal box and fan cover, and a legible nameplate showing frame size, pole count and build variant. Given the wide choice of mounting codes, it is worth checking before purchase which of the many bolt patterns actually fits the installation point. Spare parts and support run through the WEG sales network.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the WEG K16 ALE2 have?

The WEG K16 ALE2 delivers 2.2 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.
