Among the most frequently ordered ratings in general industry is the 2.2 kW 1500 rpm motor: roughly 3 HP, four poles, three-phase asynchronous. It ends up on pumps, fans, gearboxes, conveyors, mixers and packaging machines.

What the 2.2 kW 1500 rpm Motor Is

Four poles put synchronous speed at 1500 rpm; under load the shaft settles at roughly 1440 to 1450 rpm because of slip. The machines are wound with 100 percent copper and built for a long service life, and mounting comes as B3 foot, B5 flange or B35 foot-and-flange so the same rating adapts to different machines.

2026 Price Range

Prices in 2026 move with brand, efficiency class, mounting form, frame construction and how many units are ordered. Retail figures on the market for a 2.2 kW 1500 rpm IE3 three-phase motor generally sit between 8,900 TL and 11,000 TL plus VAT. Machine builders, motor dealers and industrial buyers ordering in volume are quoted separately from that retail band.

How Many Amps Does It Draw

At full load on a 400 V supply, a 2.2 kW four-pole three-phase motor generally draws about 4.5 to 5 amps. The exact figure shifts with manufacturing detail and with the efficiency class, so the thermal relay and the motor protection switch are always set from the nameplate rather than from a table.

Typical Applications

  • Geared machines
  • Belt and roller conveyors
  • Centrifugal pumps and booster sets
  • Radial, scroll and centrifugal fans
  • Screw conveying systems
  • Packaging machines
  • Mixers and agitators
  • Metalworking machines
  • Plastic recycling machines
  • Animal feed mills and grain handling lines
  • Industrial laundry washers and tumble dryers

Starting load, running time and required torque all enter the sizing, not just the rated kilowatts.

B3, B5 and B35 Mounting

A B3 foot-mounted motor bolts to a flat chassis through its feet and is the common form on conveyors, fans, mixers and belt-and-pulley arrangements. A B5 flange motor bolts straight onto the machine or pump through its front flange. B35 carries both foot and flange, and is chosen where the connection has to be more rigid and more precisely located. Shaft diameter, flange dimension and mounting form are checked before the order goes in.

Why IE3 at This Rating

An IE3 motor loses less energy and heats less than a standard machine. In practice that shows up as:

  • Lower energy consumption
  • Less heating
  • Longer life for winding and insulation
  • Steadier operation
  • Suitability for continuous running
  • Lower operating cost

Where fans, pumps and conveyors run for long stretches, the IE3 choice matters most.

Running It on an Inverter

A 2.2 kW three-phase asynchronous motor works with a suitable frequency inverter, which allows the speed to be adjusted, gives a soft start and reduces mechanical shock. Long spells at low speed may call for a separately driven cooling fan. Inverter sizing follows the motor's rated current together with the load it has to drive.

Getting an Accurate Quote

Stock position, mounting form and order quantity all move the final figure inside the band above. State which machine the motor is to drive, the mounting form and the quantity, and the quote can be given against a specific configuration instead of a range.
