Power in a 3 phase circuit is given by W=√3*V*I*cosφ therefore transposing the formula gives: I=W/√3*V*cosφ where I=current in amps, W=power in watts, V=line voltage, cosφ=power factor (this should be on the motor plate, if not you could use 0.9) Regards ninenix

How do you calculate XL-PE cable size for 6.6 KV 300 KW motor?

Find out how much current the motor draws, then look up wire tables to find out the size of wire. Ask an electrician if you are not unfamiliar with this because working at 6.6 kV is definitely lethal for the unqualified.


If defective blower motor draws more current than a good motor because?

defective motor will not run, also cause the blower motor speed resistor to burn out and eventually blow the fuse. a motor with defective bearings will draw excessive current causing either the fuse to blow or cause the motor to overheat

Why does a motor have a bigger resistance than a bulb?

There is no particular reason why a motor should have a bigger resistance than a bulb. A motor's resistance must depend on what current it draws at the particular voltage it was designed to run on. Equally, a bulb's resistance must depend on what current it draws at the particular voltage it was designed to run on. A particular motor may have a higher resistance than one kind of bulb but that same motor may have a lower resistance than another kind of bulb.


Why the rotor winding of a synchronous motor is usually connected to an external resistance during start up?

because at start the motor draws larger quantity of current and this may affected the rotor windings in order to limit current always resistance is connected.


How do you calculate 3 phase power for a motor that draws 22 amps per leg it is a 480 3 phase motor do you use 480 x 22 or 277 x 22?

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


Why does the alternator drop down when air is on?

The clutch on the AC compressor is an electromagnet. It draws a fair amount of current plus the blower motor and the cooling fan on the radiator.
