What size for 55kw motor in mm?
That would depend on the type of motor and the manufacturer.
How do you calculate XL-PE cable size for 6.6 KV 300 KW motor?
Find out how much current the motor draws, then look up wire tables to find out the size of wire. Ask an electrician if you are not unfamiliar with this because working at 6.6 kV is definitely lethal for the unqualified.
What size wire and breaker for 125hp 240 volts 3 phase motor?
The wire size and the circuit breaker for a 125 hp motor must consider the length of lead wire to the motor (essentially the distance of the motor from the supply). 125 hp is a VERY large motor and would be used only in industrial applications. You will need to consult a technician for proper advice, but the general answer to your question follows: The current draw on such a large motor would be approximately 300 amps. That is very large, and would require a wire size of 0000 AWG or 750M. 0000 AWG is 0.46 inches (11.68 mm) in diameter. As you can see, the wire is very large. It is not something you could install yourself.
What is the formula for calculating the full current load of a 400 watt metal halide light?
For the amperage of a metal halide fixture look for the nameplate which can be found on the side of the ballast. There it will tell you what the amperage of the fixture draws. Knowing what one fixture draws will allow you to size the lighting circuit for wire and breaker sizes.
Are all large motors three-phase?
Yes, most large motors are three phase. Usually single phase motors only go up to 10 HP. Larger than this and the wire size and contactors used to control the motors becomes extreme. For example a single phase 10 HP motor on 115 volts draws 100 amps. The same single phase motor on 230 volts draws 50 amps. The same 10 HP motor on three phase system draws the following amperage; 230 volts is a 28 amp draw, 460 volts is a 14 amp draw and 575 volts is a 11 amp draw. As you can see the higher the voltage becomes, the smaller the wire feeder size is needed and much smaller size contactor can be used to control the motor.
What size of wire should be used for 60Hz?
The frequency has no direct relationship to the size of wire. Wire is sized as to the amount of current a load draws in a circuit.
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for a air compressor?
This is determined by the size motor and the amount of amps the motor draws, be on the safe side and consult the owners manual or an Electrician. <<>> The sizing of the breaker and feeder wire is based on the amperage of the compressor. Look on the name plate and find the amperage. The amperage on the nameplate then has to be multiplied by the motors full load amperage and that value is used for the wire size. Because the load is a motor the FLA is again multiplied by 250% to size the breaker. This takes into allowance the high starting current of a motor from 0 to 100% RPM.
What is the max size single phase motor that will run of a 13 amp domestic socket?
It depends on the type of motor, efficiency, power factor, and loading on the motor. I have a 1 hp motor that draws ~13A full load, ~7A light load. When first switched, it can draw in excess of 30A, but this is a short enough period it normally will not trip the circuit breaker.A 1 HP motor running at 80% efficiency with a typical 0.7 power factor draws 5½ amps on a 240 v system. A 13-amp UK socket should allow a 2 HP motor.
What size wire do you need for 220 feet?
Cannot answer this question. Will need to know the voltage and amperage of the circuit. Also need to know the application i.e. is it a lighting circuit or a motor circuit?
What size wire would you use to wire a motor that draws 16 amps from a circuit?
AWG Wire Ampacity Gage (Amperes) 16 10 A 14 15 A 12 20 A 10 30 A 8 45 A 6 65 A 4 85 A 2 115 A 1 130 A 0 150 A So if anything its probably 12-14 gauge wire Yw
What size for 55kw motor in mm?
That would depend on the type of motor and the manufacturer.
What size time delay fuse do you use on a 40 hp 230 volt 3 phase motor?
The electrical code book states that a 40 HP 230 volt three phase motor draws 104 amps. For that motor the wire must be rated for 131 amps, Non time delay fuses at 300 amps, time delay fuses at 175 amps or a 250 amp circuit breaker. When calculating wire sizes and motor protection the motor's full load amperage should be taken from the motor's nameplate.
How do you calculate XL-PE cable size for 6.6 KV 300 KW motor?
Find out how much current the motor draws, then look up wire tables to find out the size of wire. Ask an electrician if you are not unfamiliar with this because working at 6.6 kV is definitely lethal for the unqualified.
What size fuse would you use for a circuit that carries a current of 315 amps?
Fusing depends on the load characteristics. If the load is a motor then the fusing is higher to allow the motor inrush to start the motor and not trip the fuse protection. Resistive loads are usually fused at the wire ampacity allowed for that load current.
What size compressor motor would a domestic refrigerator have?
No
What effect would thinner wire have in a circuit?
The smaller the wire size used in a circuit limits the amount of current that is allow to be flow through that circuit.
