Keeping in mind that there is 746watts per Hp should lead you to the answer. For ex. Power(in KVA) = Voltage (1.73)x Current
Therefore, if you know the voltage, typically 480Vac, then 150(746) = 480 (1.73) x I
150Hp(746w/hp) = Voltage x Current
= about 135 amps current. Now you also need to factor in the Power Factor (PF) of the load (150Hp). The power factor depends on the type of load. A motor is mostly Inductive, a heater, or lighting bank is resistive, and capacitive loads aren't that common. Your question is a bit vague. If you'd like to rephrase your answer or send it directly to me, I'd be glad to assist you further. You might also want to check out a site called "Mike Holt's Code Forum'. If you're an EE student, I'm sure the path to your solution is in one of your 'Power' books.

∙ 11y agoLook at the motor's name plate,there must be the voltage that the motor will handle and in what connection i.e star or delta. If you want the motor's KVA then divide the motor's power rating with it's power factor. The power rating is on the motor's name plate too.

∙ 11y agoit goes: 11 hp equals 11 x 746 watts, in other words 8206 watts, or 8.2 kW. For the kVA for an induction motor you should divide by an estimated power factor of 0.75, which takes it up to 10.9 kVA, or 11-12 kVA.

What size motor do you need to run a compressor 2 stage 80 gallon tank i have a 3 phase on it and want to change motor?
You probably need a 5hp or 7hp motor. Look for HP rating o the 3 phase motor and select the same for single phase. 3 phase has same power but is more efficient at electricity use. Also consider a 3 phase converter. It allows a 3 phase motor to run on single phase service.
Why can't I use a 5hp electic motor to turn a 10hp wheel?
Because a 5hp motor does not have enough power to turn a 10hp load.
Can you replace the 5HP 3 phase motor on your compressor with a single phase motor of the same HP?
Yes BE SURE TO Check RPM 5hp at 1800 rpm needs 25hp at 3600 rpm caveat : single phase motors are bigger physically consume more power and run at higher current (73% higher current) and take longer to get up to speed so the frame size may be different shaft size and bolt circle height of the shaft etc this is an easy task with a belt drive with the single bearing motor on some smaller compressors its impossible another possibility: small drives for 3phase motors have come down in price and may work just fine on single phase and may be cheaper than a single phase motor... can perhaps do pressure regulation by varying the speed of the motor instead of the noisy on off stop start ... fill the tank and idle speed up with demand...wont need to blow the air for the unloader soft start will increase the life of all the mechanical stuff
Can a single phase generator run a 3 phase air conditioner?
Depending on who does the work it could be less expensive than getting a different air conditioner. The compressor will also need a capacitor and some rewiring. The old unit could have a 3 phase blower motor also which could run the price up even more. Although the changes can be made, the warranty at best will probably be a one year warranty and a new unit could have a 5-10 year warranty.
How do you replace a 3 phase 5hp motor?
I assume that by two-phase, you really are talking about a supply with two hot wires and a neutral, such as 120/240 volt. This is single phase power, it just has power taps on both ends of the transformer winding, the neutral is the center tap. I don't think it is possible to convert or rewire your motor. A large 3 phase motor must be run on a 3 phase electrical supply. It will not run and will overheat if you try to connect it to a single phase supply. The only way to make a 3 phase supply from a single phase supply is to use a converter like a motor-generator set. That would be way more expensive than getting a new motor.

Is there a way to rewire a 5hp 3phase motor to run off of 240v without buying additional equipment?
No, you only have phase a and b. The motor will run as smoothly as a 3 phase motor that has lost a leg of power. That is if the motor is designed for 208v in the first place. Not a good idea.

What is the value of 1953 seaking 5hp motor?
The value of a 1953 Seaking 5hp motor depends on its condition. In good working condition this motor is valued between 159.99 and 179.99.
How many cc's is a 5hp motor?
around 200 cc's on a briggs&straton. or tecumse 5hp utility motor aka "the good ol gocart motor" but specific size and displacment is often casted into the cylinder wall on the side of the motor in qwestion, on bouth forigen and domestic engins :)

How fast can a 1 horsepower motor go in mph?
This question cannot be answered with this information. There are too many variables like gear ratios, weight of the vehicle, etc. 5hp push lawn mower = 0mph. 5hp go gart = what, maybe 30mph 5hp engine in my car = not very fast!
