The WEG KTE61 PHEM is a three-phase induction motor from the WEG range. The rated output is 132 kW. The motor is two-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 3,000 rpm. The rated voltage is 415 V. The housing is frame size 315 S in foot-mounted form. The protection class is IP65. The efficiency is 96 per cent at full load, 95.5 per cent at 75 per cent load and 94.3 per cent at half load. The motor weighs 900 kg. At full load it delivers 413.17 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 KTE61 PHEM sits in the upper part of that range with 132 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the KTE50B PHEM below it with 110 kW and the K51 EXNE2 above it with 150 kW. 433 WEG models are on record. The model is listed under Electric motors. 24 verified figures from 1 source are on file.

WEG – other models: the collective page of three-phase motors outside the named ranges from the Australian GEMS/MEPS register, 0.75 to 160 kW, 2- to 8-pole, IEC frame sizes 80 to 355, efficiencies up to 96.3%

This page gathers the WEG three-phase motors the register could not assign to a named range, recording them individually from the Australian GEMS/MEPS registration database for electric motors. WEG was founded in 1961 in Jaraguá do Sul, Brazil, the name taken from the initials of its three founders, and the manufacturer is today one of the world's largest builders of electric motors. The models recorded here come almost entirely from Brazilian production. The type plates follow noticeably different schemes: codes such as 160M appear to name the IEC frame size directly, while ranges such as K10A or K11 seem more likely to mark a product family with protection- and ignition-safety variants (ALE, EXNE, EXDE, STDE) – this cannot be inferred from the codes alone with certainty.

The register lists here 375 versions from 0.75 to 160 kW, 2- to 8-pole, with efficiencies from 76 to 96.3% at full load and 73.5 to 96.3% at 75% load, protection classes from IP55 to IP66 and frame sizes from 80 to 355 (IEC). For 106 of the models the register shows the classification "2005 High Efficiency Level", roughly equivalent to class IE2; the majority carry no such classification.

Alongside ABB and Siemens, WEG is one of the volume manufacturers of industrial three-phase motors, and this collective page covers the broad middle ground of standard motors not assigned to any separately maintained range – from small units for pumps and fans to motors for compressors and conveying plant.

For used WEG standard motors the rating plate comes first: frame size, pole count, efficiency class and protection class must match the intended application. Beyond that comes an insulation resistance test of the winding, the condition of the bearings (running noise, bearing play, re-greasing ability on larger frames), free running of the shaft, the condition of the fan and fan cowl, and – for planned inverter operation – whether the winding insulation and bearings are rated for operation on a variable-frequency drive.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the WEG KTE61 PHEM have?

The WEG KTE61 PHEM delivers 132 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.
