The motor rating is the maximum power that the motor will supply continuously. The motor can supply more power for short periods but will eventually overheat. The allowable time would depend on the physical size of the motor.
Each 1% mechanical overload would cause 1% more power and current to be drawn from the supply. This would increase the internal heat produced to increase by 2%, and that causes the temperature to rise. In cold conditions the wasted heat could be allowed to increase by 10% relative to warm conditions, which means that a 5% overload in the winter would be acceptable (rough estimate).

There is no formula needed to find the motors maximum current draw. On the motor's manufacturers nameplate the motors full load amperage is displayed. Add this amperage to the service factor value and this is the maximum amperage that the motor should be operated at. Any amperage over these total values will start to shorten the life of the motor. Heating of the internal windings will start to break down the wire's insulation. Once this starts to happen the possibility of the winding shorting to ground could become imminent.

The maximum overload on a three-phase motor can be calculated using the formula:
Maximum Overload = (Full Load Amps / 100) x Percentage Overload
Where Full Load Amps is the rated current of the motor at full load, and Percentage Overload is the desired amount of overload.

How do you use a one phase motor in place of a three phase motor?
To use a single/one phase motor instead of a three phase motor is possible if you have a three phase power supply as you will only need to tap one of the three phases together with neutral and an earthwire, however to use a three phase motor instead of a single phase will require the provision of three phase power supply.
How many overload units are required for a 3 wire 240-volt single-phase motor?
3 overloads devices required according to rule 28/304 of CEC The above answer applies to three phase motors, the NEC table 430.37 requires one overload device.
Is it necessary to have three phase rotor windings for the transmitter and motor in selsyn motor?
is it necessary to have three phase rotor
You switched leads on your 3phase motor and it did not reverse?
Then it is not a three phase motor.

Does overload relay detect phase reversing of the 3 phase motor?
No, three phase motor overloads just monitor the motor's lines for an overload. Once detected the circuit holding the magnetic starter in will drop out and take the motor off line.
If you have a three phase motor with 400 v supply and 0.65 ka what the overload?
Any value over .65kA will be classed as an overload.
Where would power factor capacitors be installed on a 3 phase motor?
Power factor capacitors can be installed on a three phase motor between the motor contactor and the overload heater block.
Assuming that the listed exception do not apply the NEC states that the minimum number of overload units required for a three-phase alternating current motor shall be?
Each leg of a three phase motor must have overload protection. There is no minimum. Older magnetic contactors used to only protect two legs but occasions arose out of this configuration that would cause the motor to single phase on an overload condition. The code was changed to stop this condition from happening so now all three legs must be protected.
What happen If one phase of the three phase induction motor is not supplied?
If the motor was lightly loaded it may continue to run, however in most applications the loss of the phase would cause the motor to stop. Properly wired and it should trip the motor overload device and prevent damage to the motor windings.
If a three phase motor loses one leg will it turn backwards before it burns up?
If a three phase motor loses one leg it will do neither of what you suggest. To change the rotation of a three phase motor any two motor leads must be interchanged. When one leg of a three phase system goes down it is said to be single phasing. The overload protection on the motor senses the higher current on the other two legs and trips the overload heaters. This in turn drops the contactor open and disconnects the motor from the supply.

How do you wire 3 phase power to 1 phase power diagram?
In an emergency and for a short period of time you can single phase a three phase motor but the motor will be loud, have terrible power characteristics and depending upon the use will burn up rather quickly. You should never try to run this in other than a life threatening emergency situation, the motors are not designed for it. Normally you don't. <<>> A three phase motor will not start on single phase. If the motor was started on three phase and loses a phase, it will stay running at a lower percentage of efficiency. Now a days the motor protection will not let a three phase motor run in a single phasing condition. All three phase legs of the motor are monitored and in a single phase condition the other two legs of the motor draw a higher current. This higher current is sensed by the motor's overload heaters in the motor's contactor and take the motor off line by opening the motor contactor. Now to the question, any two legs of a three phase system in electrical terms is known as single phase. As long as the three phase voltage matches the voltage needed in the single phase power diagram it can be connected to operate single phase equipment.
What circuit you can use to run three phase motor?
It must be a three phase supply service to run a three phase motor.
How do you start a three phase motor to a single phase power supply?
You don't. A three phase motor will not start unless it is connected to a three phase supply.
Why is it called single phasing?
On a three phase system you have incorporated into it a potential of three single phase systems. A-B, B-C, C-A. Any two legs of a three phase system can be used as a single phase load. On a three phase system, be it a motor or a service, if one of the legs drops out for what ever reason, the remaining two legs are known as single phase. This is how the terminology became single phasing. As a side note a motor will run in a single phase condition, it just will not start. In motor control, a single phase condition is prevented by the use of overload heaters on all three voltage legs.
