The WEA series from Wonder includes the WEA 160M2-2. The rated output is 15 kW. The motor is two-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 3,000 rpm. The housing is frame size 160 M in foot-mounted form. The protection class is IP55 and IP56. The efficiency is 90.9 per cent at full load, 91.5 per cent at 75 per cent load and 90.9 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 WEA series covers 11 models. Rated output within it ranges from 1.1 to 22 kW; the WEA 160M2-2 sits in the upper part of that range with 15 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the WEA 160M4 below it with 11 kW and the WEA 160L2 above it with 18.5 kW. 80 Wonder models across 5 series are on record.

Wonder WEA – three-phase motors made in China across the full pole spectrum: frame sizes 100 to 180, 1.1 to 22 kW, two- to eight-pole, efficiency 75 to 92%, four-voltage design

The WEA range extends Wonder's line-up beyond the purely low-speed WE range to the full common pole spectrum from two to eight poles. The type plates WEA 160L-4, WEA 160M1-2 and WEA 180L6 show that fast-running two-pole and slow-running six- and eight-pole variants are listed under the same series name. This lets WEA cover a broader field of applications on a single collective page than the specialised WE range.

The register lists 11 versions with 1.1 to 22 kW rated output, two- to eight-pole, at a uniform four-voltage combination of 400/415/440/690 V. Full-load efficiency ranges from 74.98 to 92.04%, and at 75% load from 75.14 to 92.28%. Frame sizes span 100 to 180.

The span from two- to eight-pole motors under the same series name allows a single brand family to serve both fast-running pump and compressor drives and slow-running agitators and fans. Efficiency correlates noticeably with frame size: larger, more powerful versions tend to reach the upper end of the stated range.

For a replacement in this broad range, the exact match of pole count and frame size to the existing drive matters most, since WEA motors, despite sharing a series name, cover technically very different speed ranges. The uniform, extensive mounting code with foot, flange and vertical variants nonetheless makes finding spare parts within the range easier.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the Wonder WEA 160M2-2 have?

The Wonder WEA 160M2-2 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.
