The SWE series from Wonder includes the SWE 280S6. The rated output is 45 kW. The motor is six-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 1,000 rpm. The housing is frame size 280 S in foot-mounted form. The protection class is IP55, IP56 and IP66. The efficiency is 93.8 per cent at full load, 94.2 per cent at 75 per cent load and 93.6 per cent at half load. The motor is built in China. The values are recorded in the Australian MEPS registration under the GEMS Determination 2012; measured to IEC 60034-2-1 (Edition 2.0). The SWE series covers 40 models. Rated output within it ranges from 7.5 to 180 kW; the SWE 280S6 sits in the lower part of that range with 45 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the SWE 250M6 below it with 37 kW and the SWE 250M-4 above it with 55 kW. 80 Wonder models across 5 series are on record.

Wonder SWE – other models: the collective page of MEPS-registered three-phase motors from the China-built SWE range outside the named models, frame sizes 160 to 355, 7.5 to 180 kW, GEMS 2012

This page gathers the three-phase motors of the SWE range under the Wonder brand that the Australian energy-efficiency register could not assign to a named range. Model designations follow the scheme SWE, followed by the IEC frame size and a code for length and pole count, for example SWE 225M-2 or SWE 250M6; no further confirmed information is available on the Wonder company itself, and manufacturing of the range lies entirely in China according to the register entries.

The register lists here 40 versions with 7.5 to 180 kW, two- to six-pole, full-load efficiencies from 89.49 to 96.08% and at 75% load from 89.81 to 96.58%. Frame sizes run from 160 to 355, protection on all motors is the combination IP55, IP56 and IP66, and the mounting codes cover practically every installation position with B3, B5, B6, B7, B8, B35 and the vertical forms V1, V3, V5, V6 and V36. China alone is recorded as the manufacturing country. Testing uniformly followed the older 2012 GEMS determination, with test method A; all 40 motors reach the 2005 High Efficiency Level, roughly equivalent to class IE2.

The SWE range, with frame sizes up to 355 and outputs up to 180 kW, covers the upper market segment of industrial motors; Wonder appears here as one of the suppliers registering this build widespread in China under its own brand for the Australian market, used chiefly in pumps, fans and conveying plant in the process industries.

When buying used, what matters is bearing condition and a checked insulation resistance of the winding, the condition of shaft, key and fan cover, a legible nameplate with frame size, mounting form and efficiency class, and, on the numerous vertical versions, correct installation matching the intended mounting form; since every motor on this page carries the High Efficiency classification, inverter operation is generally possible but should be confirmed for the specific frame size. Spares and support should be sought through the relevant Wonder distribution channel.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the Wonder SWE 280S6 have?

The Wonder SWE 280S6 delivers 45 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.
