WEG K8 – small three-phase standard motor from Jaraguá do Sul: MEPS register, 0.75 kW, four-pole, 415 V, frame sizes 80 to 90, IP55 protection
WEG of Jaraguá do Sul, Brazil, is one of the world's largest electric motor makers, and its standard-motor programme covers the whole range from fractional-kW drives to large motors. This page gathers the five versions of the K8 range listed in the Australian MEPS register – ALBRKLE2, ALE2, EXDE2, EXNE2 and STDE2 – the smallest three-phase motor in this range family.

The register lists here five versions with 0.75 kW rated output, four-pole, for a 415 V supply. Full-load efficiency is constant at 82.2%, and at 75% load runs from 78.5 to 82.2%. Frame sizes run from 80 to 90, protection is IP55 throughout, and manufacturing takes place in Brazil. Testing followed AS/NZS 1359.5:2004 with test method B; under the GEMS classification, none of the five versions reaches a High Efficiency Level. Mounting options include the foot forms B3, B5, B14, B34 and B35 alongside B6, B7 and B8, plus the vertical and flange forms V1, V3, V5, V6, V15, V18, V19 and V36.
Motors of this smallest power class drive small pumps, fans and light conveying equipment in trade, agriculture and building services; here WEG competes chiefly on price and availability with other small-motor suppliers such as Toshiba or CMG.
When buying used, what matters is bearing condition and a checked insulation resistance of the winding, visible corrosion or 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 efficiency; on these small 80 and 90 frame sizes, a simple first check is also spinning the bearings by hand. Spares run through the WEG distribution network.

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.
