Can you run a motor of greater amperage draw with a motor of less amperage draw?
It looks like you are asking if a higher amperage motor can replace a lower amperage motor. It depends on what the amperage difference is. If the amperage is high enough to move the capacity of the wire out of its rated value then it should not be done.Remember motor conductors have to be rated at 125% of the motors nameplate amperage. As the amperage increases so does the HP and the motor's protection will also have to be increased or the motor will trip the lower overload protection settings.Also keep in mind that if the motor is three phase, running a motor with higher HP on a load that does not need the extra HP, it will lower the power factor of the supply distribution.
How long will a 10 watt pump run a 12v 70 amp battery?
To answer this question the amperage draw of the motor must be given. This amperage is then divided into the amp hour capacity of the battery to find the endurance time of the motor.
Why do you need a 125 amp breaker for a 83 amp furnace?
If you put a 85 amp breaker in there it will overheat from the starting and stopping of the motor. The extra size of the breaker insures that the furnace will run without interruption and without overheating the breaker. And electric motor can draw three times the amperage rated on start up momentarily. This is why there is need of extra amperage ratings.
What is the relationshi between a motors service factor and amperage rating?
A motor's service factor is a multiplier applied to a motor's horsepower rating to indicate the level of overload it can handle. The motor's nameplate amperage rating indicates the maximum current it should draw under normal operating conditions. The service factor does not directly impact the amperage rating, but motors with a higher service factor may be capable of handling higher loads and thus draw more current.
A cranking motor has an unusually high amperage draw accompanied byslow cranking speed?
most likely a failing starter
Why does the blower fan resistor keep burning out on 99 villager?
It is quite possible the blower motor is drawing too much amperage. This is caused by a motor that is wearing out and starting to drag slightly drawing more amps to keep the motor turning. It can also have dirty wire connections at motor causing high amperage draw...
Why does a cranking motor have an unusually high amperage draw accompanied by a slow cranking speed?
The armature bushings inside the starter motor are probably shot. Time to replace the starter.
How many amps does a 1.5 hp 230v 3 phase motor draw?
For a 1.5 hp 230v 3 phase motor, you can calculate the amperage using the formula: Amps = (HP x 746) / (Volts x Efficiency x Power Factor x √3). Assuming an efficiency of 0.85 and a power factor of 0.8, the amperage draw would be approximately 4.3 Amps.
How many amperes use an electric heater?
The amperage of an electric heater depends on its power rating in watts and the voltage it operates on. To determine the amperage, divide the wattage by the voltage (Amperes = Watts / Volts). For example, a 1500 watt electric heater running on 120 volts would use 12.5 amperes (1500 watts / 120 volts = 12.5 A).
What causes a 5HP 240 volt electric motor to get hot?
If a motor is operating above the 40 degree C nameplate rating, it is probably overloaded. Overloaded motors will draw more current than they should. Check the amperage to make sure that it in not over the nameplate current rating.If you have the ability to check the motor's frame temperature with a laser temperature reader use it as it is hard to tell just by touching the motor with your hand.
How many amps does a 1.5 hp dc motor draw?
1 horsepower is equal to 0.7456 kWatts, therefore 1.1184 kWatts will be the power consumption of that motor. The current draw depends on the voltage, simply use the P=UxI or I=P/U formulas to figure out the current draw (P=1118.4 Watts). some voltages: 12Vdc draw 93.2Amps 24Vdc draws 46.6Amps 110Vdc draws 10.17Amps 230Vdc draws 4.86Amps
When does a motor draw current more than its rated current?
This is a good indication that the motor is being overloaded. If the motor load is belt driven, remove the belt and then check the motor amps. If it goes back to normal FLA then there is a problem with the driven load. If the motor amperage stays high check the motor bearings for the problem.
