Fasco Able Other models

The register lists here 30 versions with 0.75 to 160 kW, two- to six-pole, uniformly rated for 415 V. Full-load efficiencies range from 75.6 to 95.3% and at 75% load from 75.8 to 94.9%; none of the motors carries a High Efficiency classification. Frame sizes run from 80 to 315 under IEC, all motors carry protection rating IP55 with mounting codes from B3/B5/B14 to B3/B35/B5; manufacturing is exclusively in China, tested to the older AS/NZS 1359.5:2000 standard with test method B.

With a power band from under a kilowatt to 160 kW, the programme covers both small auxiliary drives and large industrial motors for pumps, fans and compressors; the uniform 415 V rating and older test standard point to a programme positioned mainly in the price-sensitive spares business for IEC standard motors.

When buying used or replacing, what matters is bearing condition and a checked insulation resistance of the winding, visible 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 voltage. Since none of the motors carries a current High Efficiency classification, an efficiency comparison with newer IE2/IE3 models is worthwhile when replacing.
