The formula for amps when kilowatts are stated is; kW x 1000/1.73 x Volts x pf.

10 x 1000/1.73 x 415 x .8 = 10000/574 = 17 amps.

The electrical code states that motor feeders have to be rated at 125% of the motors FLA (full load amps). 17 x 125% = 21 amps.

A #10 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C are both rated at 30 amps.

Depending on the method of cable installation, if the cable is unenclosed you can get away with 6mm sq otherwise you need 10mm sq

How to convert a generator three phase output to single phase?

If the generator is a 12 lead reconnectable, you can use something called a zig-zag connection.Check the link below. It is an installation manual for a Marathon generator. Zig-zag connections are shown on page 8. For a home, you would use the low zig-zag connection for 120/240V (in the US). One caveat: you can only load a zig-zag single-phase connected generator to a maximum of 66% of its rated load. So, a 15kW 3-phase generator would only provide 10kW single-phase power. If this doesn't quite make sense, hire a pro!IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicatorto insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.


What is a supercapacitor used for?

If you need a device with high power characteristics and a certain amount of energy to drive electrical appliances, long-term maintenance-free, and use in a wide temperature range, especially when the safety requirements are relatively strict at minus 30 to 40 degrees, supercapacitor should be a suitable choice. You may find super capacitors in the following applications: Instant high power, such as UAV ejection device; Short-term current supply, such as police flashlights; Conditions of frequent acceleration (downward) and deceleration (upward), such as braking energy recovery device; Diesel vehicles are started in extreme cold weather or in the state of battery failure; Backup power supply for wind power generation, solar thermal power generation, nuclear power and other power generation terminals; All kinds of long-life, high-reliability, maintenance-free, high-power density backup power supplies ----We're JYH HSU(JEC) Electronics Ltd (or Dongguan Zhixu Electronic Co., Ltd.), an electronic components manufacturer.

How do you calculate the phase current when working with a 10kw 3 phase electrical motor?

The 3 phase formula you are looking for is I = HP x 746/1.73 x E x% Eff x pf. Where I = amps, E = voltage, %Eff = percent efficiency of the motor and pf = power factor.


What size generator would it take to start and run a 6 horsepower 220 volt electric motor on a air compressor?

To answer this question the full load amperage of the motor and what phase the motor is, should have been given. This answer uses the motor amperage give in the electrical code book and will be close for your purpose. A 6 HP is not a common size motor. 7.5 HP motor is 25.3 amps. Using a power factor of 90%. W = I x E x 1.73 x pf, W = 25.3 x 220 x 1.73 x .9 = 8666 watts. A 10kW three phase generator will probably start the motor if it is not under load when it starts. A 15 kw generator would be better. A single phase 7.5 HP motor draws 40 amps. W = I x E x pf = 40 x 220 x .9 = 7920. Again A 10kW single phase generator will probably start the motor if it is not under load when it starts. A 15 kw generator would be better.


Is it ok to start ac motor 1.5kw with an inverter 10kw?

Yes, it is generally safe to start an AC motor with an inverter that has a higher power rating. The inverter's capacity should exceed the motor's power requirements to ensure sufficient starting torque. However, it is important to ensure that the inverter is correctly configured and that the motor is compatible with the inverter's voltage and frequency output.


How can I find a 10kW generator?

10kw generators are available for purchase at Home Depot. They sell the Briggs & Stratton models which are known to be durable and dependable. These generators can get you through the worst of power outages.


How do you calculate current in Star Delta for 10kw 3phase 415 volts induction Electrical Motor?

Since watts = volts times amps times 1.73 times power factor (for a three phase motor): W = E * I * 1.73 * PF Solving for I: I = W / (E * 1.73 * PF) Lets say your motor has a PF of 0.85: I = 10000 / (415 * 1.73 * 0.85) I = 16.39A If this is for your homework (I hope not) and PF is not given, then you will substitute 1.0 for the PF and, of course, arrive at a different answer!


Will a single phase 32 amp distro run 10kw?

The short answer is no. The long answer is no, not if you are using standard 100-120 volt or 220-240volts found in most (all?) countries The following is a simplified best case scenario, which incorrectly assumes a power factor of 1. Power = Volts * Amps Watts = Volts * AMPS (Actually VA = Volts * Amps, but VA=Watts in best case scenario) but 10kw > 240 * 32. David

How many amperage in 10KW?

The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. As you can see a voltage must be stated to answer this question. 10kW = 10000 watts.
