18kW motor will take how many amps?
To calculate the amps drawn by an 18kW motor, you can use the formula: Amps = Power (Watts) / Voltage (Volts). Assuming a standard voltage of 120V, the motor would draw approximately 150Amps. Note that actual amps will depend on the specific voltage of the motor.
Is single phase connection enough for 18KW motor?
Typically, an 18KW motor would be too large to be single phase because then the windings' conductors will be too large inorder to carry such high currents. I,myself,don't think such a motor exist since a cheaper 3phase motor could be used instead.
What kilowatt of AC generator will drive a 18 kilowatt ac motor?
30kva generators ,it can be able to run the 18kw ac motor
How much current per phase will a 18KW motor draw on 415 v?
To calculate the current per phase, use the formula: Current (I) = Power (P) / (Square Root(3) x Voltage (V)). For an 18kW motor at 415V, the current per phase will be: 18,000W / (1.732 x 415V) ≈ 24.5A per phase.
What is the price range for house generators from homedepot.com?
The least expensive one was a 10kw GE generator and costs $2,898. The most expensive was a 18kw system made by Kohler priced at $4,769.
Would 10mm sq cable suit an 18kw 3 phase 415 volt motor 25mt length?
The motor would draw about 24 kVA which is 35 amps. For this you would need 10 mm2 cable.
Would 10mm sq cable suit an 18kw 3 phase 415 volt motor over 25mt length?
The motor would draw about 24 kVA which is 35 amps. For this you would need 10 mm2 cable.
How long does it take for a heat pump to warm an inground swimming pool in New York State in 55-75 degree weather?
Well, it depends on the size of heat pump and the size of pool! However, a 30x12 ft, 2-3.5ft deep pool with an 18kw heater will take 4 to 5 days.

Should a 3 phase motor run on star or delta?
It does not matter to the motor, just as long as the three phase voltage is what the motor specification requires. HOWEVER..... While the motor will run in either star or delta, it will draw 3 times as much current in delta as it does in star, and will develop 3 times more torque (and power) in delta compared to star. 3 phase motors are often started in star, as it draws less current and is less likely to blow fuses, damage contacts and upset the supply system due to voltage drops. When the motor is near full speed, the motor is switched to delta connection for full power. This is called star-delta starting, and is suitable for light, low inertia loads such as fans or pumps. Because of the motor's reduced startup torque, it shouldn't be used for compressors, machines with heavy flywheels, or machines that come onto load before they reach full speed. Motors designed for star-delta starting will have 6 live terminals in their connection box. Let's get a little bit technical. In star, each winding has L-N voltage across it (about 58% of the L-L voltage applied when in delta) - in Australia, our voltage from the active (live wire) to the neutral (return wire) is 230 volts, and the voltage from one active to another active is 400 volts. (230 / 400 is about 0.58, or 58%. and 400 / 230 is 1.73 or 173%). Connecting a motor in star puts 230 volts across each winding, and connects ONE winding to each supply phase. when running, it draws (say) 10 amps, and develops about 6 kW / 8HP. In delta, each winding has 400 volts across it, and each supply line powers 2 windings, so the current increases by 1.73 (400 volts compared to 230 volts) and again by 1.73 (2 windings on a 3 phase system draw 1.73 times more current than one winding.) 1.73 squared is 3 - so in delta, the motor draws 3 times more current (30 amps), and delivers 3 times more power (18kW / 24HP). Some motors are designed to be operated ONLY in star - they may have a label advising you of this, or they may have only one value of voltage and current on the nameplate. They will also usually have only 3 terminals inside the connection box. If you suspect that the motor is 'star only', but want to make sure, connect the motor in delta, and check the running current as soon as the motor is up to speed; if it is drawing more than the nameplate current, or the motor is noisy in delta, but not in star, stop the motor immediately and reconnect it in star, or the motor WILL burn out very quickly.
How many kilowatts power an average house?
None. In Europe most houses are supplied with about 14 to 18kW. A basic electric kettle is about 1.5kW. A water heater 3kW. An electric oven/hob 5 to 7 kW. Add in lighting, sockets/outlets, and electric showers and you can see 1kW wont get you very far.
