For accurate information and a fast quotation on the 1.5 kW electric motor price and reliable 1.5 kW electric motor supply, you are in the right place. As one of the most popular ratings in the small-power class, 1.5 kW (roughly 2 HP) motors appear in countless applications such as booster pumps, circulation pumps, small fans, woodworking machines, packaging machines and gearbox inputs. As HEM Motor, we offer this power in 2-pole (3000 rpm), 4-pole (1500 rpm) and 6-pole (1000 rpm) options, in IE3 and IE4 efficiency classes, with B3/B5/B14 mounting types, from stock and with a manufacturer-direct supply approach. Below you will find every detail from frame size to grid compatibility, and you will be guided to the right place for electric motor prices.

Frame Size and Pole-Speed Relationship at 1.5 kW

The 1.5 kW rating is generally built in 80M and 90S IEC frame sizes. Thanks to its compact structure, it fits easily into tight mounting spaces, which makes it a favourite for small machines. The basis of choosing the right motor is defining the speed your machine needs. The same 1.5 kW produces different speed and torque depending on pole count: 2-pole models for high-speed pumps and blowers, 4-pole models for balanced industrial applications, and 6-pole models for low-speed, high-torque drives.

For body material, aluminium models offer light weight and good heat dissipation, while cast iron is preferred for vibrating and demanding environments. You can benefit from the technical content in our electric motors blog category when deciding on the right body.

Typical Duties of a 1.5 kW Motor by Pole

Pole / SpeedTorque and SpeedCommon Application
2-pole / ~3000 rpmHigh speed, low torqueBooster pump, circulation pump, blower
4-pole / ~1500 rpmBalanced speed and torqueConveyor, woodworking bench, general industry
6-pole / ~1000 rpmLow speed, high torqueMixer, heavy-start small drive

You can see the most requested power and speed combinations and which is ideal for which application in our IE3 electric motor stock guide.

Efficiency Class at 1.5 kW: IE3 Standard and IE4 Advantage

At 1.5 kW, the efficiency class matters for both regulation and operating cost. Under current rules, IE3 premium efficiency motors are the standard in this band. For boosters, circulation and continuous-process applications running long hours, IE4 super premium efficiency motors lower the energy bill with reduced losses. Thinking about purchase price and consumption cost together lets you see true price-performance.

  • IE3 motor: Wide stock, fast delivery and balanced initial investment.
  • IE4 motor: Faster payback over long running hours.
  • Correct pole and power: Avoiding oversizing lowers both price and consumption.

For IE3 motors from stock see our IE3 electric motors product category, for super premium efficiency our IE4 AC electric motors page, and you can follow the efficiency mandate in our IE3 and IE4 efficiency mandate article.

B3, B5, B14: Mounting Type Selection at 1.5 kW

For small-power motors, mounting type is the backbone of installation compatibility. B3 foot-mounted 1.5 kW motors bolt to the floor or base and are the most common solution. B5 large-flange models seat directly on a pump or gearbox housing. B14 small-flange models are used in compact machines and tight spaces. Reporting the mounting type of your existing machine correctly eliminates installation issues in a replacement order.

MountingFixingPreferred Area
B3 (foot)Foot to floorBelt-pulley, conveyor, general drive
B5 (large flange)Flange to housingPump, gearbox, monobloc
B14 (small flange)Threaded flangeCompact machine, tight space

For all mounting options you can review our B5 flange electric motors and B3 foot electric motors pages.

Single-Phase and Three-Phase 1.5 kW: Solution for Your Grid

1.5 kW is among the most commonly used powers on both 220V single-phase and 380/400V three-phase grids. Because single phase is common in workshops, farms and small businesses, demand for the single-phase 1.5 kW motor is high. For industrial plants with a three-phase supply, the three-phase 1.5 kW motor is a more efficient and trouble-free choice. Stating your grid type before ordering ensures the right motor arrives the first time.

You can find whether and within what limits a three-phase motor can run on a single-phase grid in our article on running a three-phase motor on 220V single phase. For a correct purchase in the small-power band, our guide on mistakes when buying an electric motor is also very useful.

Factors That Determine the 1.5 kW Electric Motor Price

Motors with the same 1.5 kW label offer different price-performance depending on material and build quality. Copper winding, bearing type, efficiency class, body material and IP protection class all directly affect both price and motor life. Not the cheapest motor, but the one best suited to your operating conditions is the most economical in the long run. As HEM Motor, with our manufacturer-direct approach, we offer the specification you need at a fair price-performance.

  • Efficiency class: Determines long-term energy cost.
  • Winding and bearing: Affect life and failure frequency.
  • IP protection: Provides dust, moisture and open-field resistance.
  • Stock: Fast delivery and an uninterrupted project plan.

Correct Information, Correct Delivery in a 1.5 kW Order

In a 1.5 kW electric motor supply process, the fastest delivery starts with correct information before ordering. When you clarify the items below and send them to us, we can offer the most suitable motor in terms of price-performance with a fast quotation.

  • Power and pole: At 1.5 kW, which of 2/4/6 poles does your machine need?
  • Mounting: B3, B5 or B14; base it on the existing motor's mounting.
  • Grid: 220V single phase or 380/400V three phase?
  • Efficiency: IE3 or IE4; let us evaluate by your running hours.
  • Environment: If dusty/wet/open field, state the IP protection class.

In a replacement order, sharing the power, speed, frame and shaft diameter on the existing motor's nameplate is the safest route. You can find the guide on reading rated values on the nameplate in our IE3 motor nameplate reading article.

The Most Common Applications of a 1.5 kW Motor

1.5 kW is the most demanded value in the small-power band. Boosters and booster pumps, circulation pumps, small ventilation and aspirator fans, woodworking benches, packaging machines and gearbox-input small conveyors are its main applications. Each application requires a different pole, mounting type and sometimes a different IP protection class, so the right motor choice varies by application. Telling us your operating conditions lets us quickly determine the most suitable 1.5 kW motor in a price-performance balance. For application-specific options, see our electric motors for booster systems page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many HP is a 1.5 kW electric motor?

1.5 kW corresponds to roughly 2 HP (horsepower). For ordering and motor replacement on imported machines, taking the nameplate value as the basis is the safest method for the correct power.

What frame size does a 1.5 kW motor come in?

1.5 kW motors are generally built in 80M or 90S frame. Reporting your existing motor's foot and shaft dimensions ensures an exact match in a replacement order.

Can I get a 1.5 kW motor quickly from stock?

Because 1.5 kW is one of the most requested small powers, it is found in wide stock in 2/4/6 poles and various mounting types. When you state the pole, frame and mounting, we respond with a fast quotation and short lead time.

Should I prefer IE3 or IE4 at 1.5 kW?

In regulation, IE3 is the standard at this power. If the motor runs long hours and continuous load, IE4 super premium pays back faster through energy savings. Share your running hours and we recommend the best class.

Is a single-phase 1.5 kW motor possible?

If your facility has single phase (220V), a single-phase 1.5 kW motor is the most common solution. If you have a three-phase supply, the three-phase model is more efficient. Stating your grid type guarantees the right product.

A 1.5 kW electric motor chosen with the right power, speed and mounting type works efficiently in your facility for many years. To find the most suitable motor in a price-performance balance and get a fast quotation, contact us via hemmotor.com; let us clarify stock status and lead time together.
