Best Answer

Motors doesn't use its maximum rated current because the circuit breaker will trip immediately or is tripped off easily if there are fluctuations in our voltage regulations.

How do you calculate the fuse rating level if the full load is 4 amp?

A fuse rating is normally the 120% of the rated full load current. So, 4 amps times 120% is (4x120%) = 4.8amps


What is the difference between rated current full load current?

rated current is the current at any given conditions......but full load current is the maximum current that the system design can hav.....it w'll b larger than that f the rated current. rated current is the current at any given conditions......but full load current is the maximum current that the system design can hav.....it w'll b larger than that f the rated current.


How is the full load current different to the starting current- is the full load current higher or lower than the starting current?

While starting a motor from standstill to its rated speed, the motor has to overcome the inertia and generate enough torque to over come it. In the process the motor takes higher current during the starting. Once started and set in motion the current reduces ti its normal value. Full load current is lower than the starting current normally.


What size breaker do you need for a well pump?

A breaker is based on the amperage that is drawn by the pump motor load. Find the full load amperage of the motor. The wire fed from the breaker has to be rated at 125% of the motors full load amperage. The breaker for motors have to be over sized, usually 250% of the motors full load amps.


How many amps does half hp motor single phase?

Presumably you mean 'rated full-load current'? The thing to remember is that motors, whether rated in horsepower (North America) or watts (practically everywhere else), are rated according to their output power. Because motors are not 100% efficient, the input power is always somewhat higherthan the output power. 0.5 horsepower is equivalent to about 373 W output power. If we assume that the motor runs at, say, 90% efficiency at its rated output, this means its input power will be around 414 W. To determine its input current you must then divide its input power by the rated supply voltage.


What is FLA in electrical terms?

FLA = full load amps <<>> It is a term that is associated with motors. It is the amperage of the motor when it operates at its full rated horsepower under load.


What is meant by rated voltage rated current and rated power of a transformer?

The ratings state the limits on voltage and current for operating the transformer at full load. The rated voltage times the rated current gives the rated VA of the transformer. Transormers are not usually rated directly for power because this depends on the power factor of the load applied.


How many amps per phase would a machine rated at 460 amps over three phases take?

It depends on the internal circuit of the machine. If it is star operated its full load current will be same as rated current. If it is Delta operated its full load per phase current will be as given below : Phase current = Line Current / 1.732


How do you calculate absorbed power for motors?

we can calculate power consumption of motor by multiplying voltage and current which motor is take.AnswerYou need to know its rated power (i.e. its output power) and its full-load efficiency, from which you can calculate its input power.


What is full load current of 2HP induction motor?

Since (in North America, at least), the horsepower of a motor describes its rated output power, you need to know its efficiency in order to determine its input power, then its rated voltage, to determine its full-load current.


How calculate motor starting current using DOL starter?

In North America the calculations for people in the trade comes from the CEC or NEC electrical code book. The table states what the rating or setting of over current devices for the protection of motor branch circuits should be. If protected by time delay fuses the protection will be 175% of the motors full load amperage. Non time delay fuses the protection will be 300 % of the motors full load amps. The maximum setting time-limit type circuit breaker is to be set at 250% of the motors full load amperage.
