Why Choose the TECO I2----7-8B3 IE2 AC Motor?
The TECO I2----7-8B3 is a robust 7.5 kW (10 HP) three-phase AC induction motor designed for low-speed industrial machinery, conveyors, mixers, agitators and process equipment. Featuring an 8-pole configuration, it is particularly suited to applications requiring lower rotational speed and increased shaft torque.
Part of TECO's IE2 aluminium industrial motor range, the I2----7-8B3 combines efficient motor performance with a B3 foot-mounted configuration for secure installation on machine frames and baseplates. Its IEC 160L frame provides a standardised mechanical format for integration into compatible industrial machinery.
With a rated output power of 7.5 kW and an 8-pole design, the motor has a synchronous speed of 750 rpm at 50 Hz. Actual shaft speed under load is slightly below synchronous speed because of normal induction motor slip, allowing the motor to provide substantial torque for demanding lower-speed drive applications.

High-Torque, Low-Speed Power for Industrial Machinery
Eight-pole induction motors provide substantially lower rotational speeds than conventional 2-pole and 4-pole motors. At a 50 Hz supply frequency, an 8-pole induction motor has a synchronous speed of 750 rpm, while its actual shaft speed under load is slightly lower because of normal induction motor slip. For a given output power, this reduced rotational speed provides greater shaft torque.
The combination of a 7.5 kW output, 8-pole configuration and B3 foot mounting makes the I2----7-8B3 particularly suitable for conveyors, mixers, agitators, process equipment and mechanical drive systems. Its IEC 160L frame allows the motor to be securely installed on compatible industrial baseplates and machinery structures.
Typical Applications
- Low-speed conveyors and material handling systems.
- Industrial mixers and agitators.
- Process and production machinery.
- Mechanical transmission and drive systems.
