one HP=746 watts to convert KVA into KW the power factor must be known. no direct conversion formula

Power = 1hp = 0.746 kW

Energy = power *time = 0.746 (kW) * time (h)

Multiply by 745.699872.
1horsepower equals 745.699872 watts.
1,000 watts equal a kilowatt

How many kw generator required for 7.5 hp motor?

To answer this question the motor voltage and amperage is needed.


What is the cable size for 600V 3 phase ac motor?

you need the current of motor or the KW/HP rating


How many amps does 1 phase 220volt 7.5 HP draw?

Look at the motor nameplate and it shoud have the amp draw on it. If the nameplate is missing, then the amp draw depends on what type of motor it is. The basic calculation to get you in the ball park would be as follows: 1 HP = 0.75 KW 7.5 HP = 5.63 KW Assume the efficiency of the motor is 80%, then the power supplied will need to be 5.63/0.8 = 7.04 KW amp draw = 7040/220 = 32 amps <<>> For calculation purposes the electrical code book states that a 7.5 HP motor draws 40 amps.


How much does it cost to run a 10 hp 3 phase motor at 208 volts?

The first thing that has to be done is find the amperage of the motor. Amps = HP x 746/1.73 x E x %eff x pf. Amps = 10 x 746 = 7460/1.73 x 208 x .85 x .86 = 7460/179 = 42 amps. A standard motor's efficiency between 5 to 100 HP is .84 to .91. A standard motor's power factor between 10 to 100 HP is .86 to .92. The formula for kilowatts is kW = I x E x 1.73 x pf/1000 = 42 x 208 x .86 = 7513 kW Use this kW number times the amount of hours the motor runs to get kW/h. Use that figure for kW/h times the rate you pay for a kW/h in your area to give you the answer that you are looking for.


How do you calculate the cost of running a 7.5 HP 230V ac Motor which runs 24 x 7?

total hour = 24*7 = 168 hrs now 1 h.p. =0.750 kw 7.5h.p. =(?) Hence = 5.625 kw hence total unit = kw*hrs =5.625*168 =945kwh NOw cost = unit/hrs *motor running hrs =6 Rs for indust * 945 =5670 Rs
