Amtecs 1.5kW 6 Pole Motor – 2HP 1000rpm IEC 100LB3 Foot Mount

This Amtecs 1.5kW 6 pole three-phase electric motor is built in IEC 100LB3 format with B3 mounting, making it suitable for mixers, geared drives, agitators, feeders, and process machinery where slower running and smoother torque delivery are preferred. This version is aimed at users who need foot mount, dependable IE3 efficiency, and IP55 protection for day-to-day industrial service.

---

Motor Overview

This version uses a B3 mounting arrangement for foot-mounted base installation. In practice, that makes it a practical choice for base-mounted machine beds, skids, conveyors, fans, and general fabricated structures. The 6 pole winding gives a nominal speed of 1000rpm, so it is normally selected where reduced shaft speed is preferred without moving into very large frame sizes too quickly.

Why Choose This Configuration?

This exact model is best suited to buyers who specifically need an IEC 100LB3 motor in 1.5kW / 2HP. Compared with other mounting options in the same power and pole range, this version is intended for applications where a foot-mounted IEC motor is needed for straightforward alignment and replacement, while still keeping the same core electrical performance and aluminium IE3 construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What speed does a 6 pole motor run at?

A 6 pole electric motor operating on a 50Hz supply typically runs at around 1000rpm, with the actual full-load speed usually around 930–970rpm due to motor slip.

What is this 1.5kW motor commonly used for?

This motor is commonly used on conveyors, pumps, fans, mixers, machine tools, gearboxes, and general industrial machinery where lower running speed, reliable continuous-duty operation, and IEC interchangeability are important.

Is this motor suitable for pulley or coupling drives?

Yes, the B3 foot mount arrangement is commonly used for pulley-driven, chain-driven, and coupling-driven machinery where the motor is mounted directly onto a base or frame and aligned mechanically during installation.

What should I check before replacing a 1.5kW motor?

When replacing a 1.5kW motor, check the frame size, pole count, B3 mounting arrangement, shaft dimensions, supply voltage, and the mechanical fit to the existing machine before ordering.

Can this motor run on an inverter drive?

Many industrial AC motors can operate with inverter drives (VFDs), but suitability depends on the exact application, duty cycle, cable length, and motor specification.

What does B3 mounting mean?

B3 is the standard IEC foot-mounted arrangement, designed for motors that bolt down to a machine bed, baseplate, skid, or fabricated frame.
