Will a 500volt 50hz squirrel cage motor run on 380volts 50hz?

No, the voltage of 500 volts is too high to operate a 380 volt motor.


How do you run a motor 208 volts ac in a 230 volts suply?

If your motor is rated for only 208 volts you may not be able to use 230 volts for it. It will run, but may shorten the life of the motor. Motors are rated with a 10% tolerance for voltage. This means that a 208 volt motor has a maximum voltage rating of 228.8 volts. So measure you voltage supply and see if it is below 228.8 with a good RMS voltmeter. If it is, you are good to go. If it is not there are two ways to make it work. 1. Put a high wattage ballast resister in series with the supply voltage to drop the voltage to the motor within range of 187.2 to 228.8 volts. To determine the value of the resistor take the Horse Power of the motor and multiply it by 746. This will give the wattage of the resistor, use one at least 20% larger. Next take the Rated Load Amps (RLA) or Full Load Amps (FLA) of the motor and divide it into the difference between 230 (voltage supply) and the 208 (rated motor voltage), this will get you close to the resistance value of the Ballast resistor you need to use. So a 1/2 HP motor with a 1.2 RLA will require about a 18 ohm, 500 watt ballast resistor. This is not the recommended method, but will work. 2. Install a Buck & Boost transformer rate for the HP of the motor that will Buck the supply voltage for the motor down to 208 volts. This is the recommended way and the only way it should be done. Any good commercial electrical supply house can help you properly size the transformer that you will need.


How many watts does a 240 volt 5 hp motor use?

If you are asking about an actual motor it is best to read the motor's rating plate. If you are asking how to figure out the current in Amps drawn by a motor which produces a power output of 3 horsepower (hp) this question is way too vague to be answered accurately without knowing a lot more technical details. The current drawn will depend on (a) the type of motor and (b) the Voltage that the motor is designed to run on. Regarding motor type, is it a Direct Current motor or, if it is an Alternating Current motor, is it a single-phase motor or a 3-phase motor. If it is a single-phase motor, then is it a squirrel-cage induction motor or a commutator motor of the type often used in vacuum cleaners or power tools? Another type of alternating current motor is the slip-ring synchronous motor but that type is not often used to supply only 3 horsepower. A very rough way to calculate a possible current draw if you know the motor's operating voltage is to use the fact that 1 hp is approximately equal to 0.75 kiloWatts. So 3 hp = 3 x 0.75 = 2.25 kW. Now, knowing that the actual efficiency of a motor depends entirely upon its design type, we shall have to assume an efficiency factor for the conversion of electrical power to mechanical power. If we assume the motor is only 50% efficient then, to produce 3 hp, it will have to be supplied with electrical power of at least 2 x 2.25 = 4.5 kW. Since Power P (Watts) = V (Volts) x I (Current in Amps), the current drawn I would therefore be given by I= P/V: At 12 Volts DC: 4,500 / 12 = 375 Amps. (This would be a typical peak starting current drawn by, say, the starter motor of a small car engine in Summer. In Winter it might get to 500 Amps or more!) At 120 Volts RMS AC: 4,500 / 120 = 37.5 Amps RMS single phase At 240 Volts RMS AC: 4,500 / 240 = 18.75 Amps RMS single phase

What is the difference between a 47uf 50 v capacitor and a 47uf 25v capacitor for a tattoo machine?

A: It may tattoo your face when it blow up if the 25 volts is used where a 50 volts should be, you may substitute 47 mfd 500 volts for the 50volts cap and the 25 volts cap But you cannot substitute 15 volts for the 25 volts capacitor

What size of breaker is use for 75 horsepower 220 volts 3 phase induction motor?

How many amps drawn a 110KW motor?

Watts = Volts times Amps. Therefore, if the voltage was 220 volts, the motor would draw 500 amps. If the voltage was 4,000 volts, the motor would draw 27.5 amps. The voltages for large powerful motors tend to be relatively high, for example in the 380 Volts to 11,500 Volts range.

How do you convert a 3 phase car lift to single phase?

The best way is usually to buy a new single-phase motor and replace the 3-phase motor. You can also buy something called a rotary phase converter, but for any amount of HP they are about as expensive as a new motor. Expect to pay 500 to 700 dollars US for a 10hp rotary converter. Static phase converters are not a good choice for motors that start and stop or reverse often, such as yours.


What is the power of a motor that draws 500 milliamps using 4 volts?

When 500 mA of current is flowing from a 4-volt supply, the supply is delivering 2 watts of electrical power. We can't tell how much of that power is actually available from the motor in the form of mechanical power, and how much of it is only heating up the parts of the motor.

Could works a 500 watts of power and 3 phases motor with a wind generator?

Yes, but it would have to be a pretty big and expensive wind generator. You would need an inverter to produce at least 500 watts of 3 phase power. Unless you also had some big batteries, you could only run your motor when the wind is blowing!

How many amps if you have 500 watts at 250 volts?

The formula you need to use is I = W/E. Use this, easier for the average person: The conversion of Amps to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts. For example 1 amp * 110 volts = 110 watts 500w = 250v X A amps Therefore: 500w/250v= 2amps
