The resistance depends on how big the motor is. A small motor (less then 2-3 kW) , have greater resistance than a bigger one. Typically small motors have from 10 - 20 ohms to a few ohm. A 13 kWatt motor have typically 1-2 Ohm. A big 400 KWatt's motor have typically 10 milli ohms between the phases.

The resistance reading from any phase leg to ground should be infinity. Any reading over 5 meg ohms will be connectible.

What is the horsepower of a 3 phase 480 volt 1.7 amp motor?

This is the formula for horsepower. HP = I x E x 1.73 x %eff x pf./746. The efficiency of the motor will have to be guessed at along with the power factor. A motor has a lagging power factor so will use a value of .85. For the efficiency of the motor lets say 90%. The value of 746 is the amount of watts in one horsepower. Now applying the values we end up with a HP value. HP = 1.7 x 480 x 1.73 x 90 x .85/746 = 1080/746 = 1.45 horsepower.


What will cause electric motor to shock you when you touch it?

The motor winding has gone to ground internally. The ability of the motor to shock you is caused by the ground wire missing or not connected. It is this ground wire that trips the breaker in short circuit conditions and disconnects the motor from the distribution system.


What is the function of liquid in liquid resistance starter?

Combination of water and caustic soda for improving the resistance in starter, that's called Liquid Resistancestarter.If any slip ring Induction motor, at the time of startinggiven the external resistance required to rotor side, why because starting current and starting torque is very high.So we are using resistance starter depend on motor capacity , at that place using Liquid resistance starter.Liquid resistance starter (LRS) ,IN which externalresistance is liquid media which is use for the startingmethod of slip ring motor. For starting of slip ring motor external resistance arerequired so that we use liquid (addition of some causticsoda)as resistance so that is called as LRS.


How many horsepower in 1 psi?

If PSI is Pounds per Square Inch and HP is Horsepower then the only connection I know of is if you are trying to find the torque of the motor. Please rephrase the question.


What is the approximate horsepower rating of a 240V motor that draws 15.5A of current?

A motor that draws 14 amps on 240 volts is probably a two horsepower motor, but it could be three depending on the efficiency.Watts = amps x volts. There are 746 watts in 1 horsepower.CommentIn North America, horsepower is always used to describe the output power of a motor. You can only find the input power by multiplying the supply voltage by the load current. You will, unfortunately, then need to know the efficiency of the machine to determine its output power in horsepower.
