Best Answer

A typical riding mower with a 38" deck probably comes with a 12.5HP motor. If your mowing requires cutting higher grass or big hills you may want to have one with a larger engine more like a 16.5HP.

What will cause a motor to go into a locked rotor state?

The only time a motor should go into a locked rotor condition is if the motors connected load jams causing the motor to stop turning. At this point if the motor control circuitry is sized to the motor's full load amperage, the high rise in current will trip the motor off line.

How big of a breaker for a 26 amp motor?

Sizing circuit breakers for motors falls into a different category. Because of the inrush of current when the motor is in the stopped position, the breaker has to be sized to allow for this. Breakers usually are 250% of the nameplate full load amp rating. The wires that feed the motor are sized to 125% of the full load amps of the motor.


Are fuse sized for three phase motor two times the nameplate rating?

Not normally. They are sized slightly above the LRA ( locked rotor amps) or the FLA (full load amps) stated on the motor nameplate. The startup current of a motor can be 125-150% of the running load amperage. This depends on the motor, its EFF (efficiency) and the torque requirement of the load.
