Motors with same horse-powers have different full load amps when operating. To calculate the size of wire to supply the motor feeder the voltage or current of the motor has to be known.
To calculate the HP of a motor, you can use the formula: HP = (Watts x Efficiency) / 746 Where Efficiency is a typical value between 0.7 and 0.9. For a 3 amp motor, you will need to know the voltage to calculate the wattage and then convert it to HP using the formula above.
It is not recommended to supply a 240 volt single phase motor with only one phase until the other phase is closed. This can cause imbalanced current flow, leading to motor overheating and potential damage. It is best to provide both phases simultaneously to ensure proper operation of the motor.
the single cam motor has about 100 hp abd the dohc has about 125 hp.
A single phase 10 HP motor will draw aproximately 50 amps. A three phase 10 HP motor will draw aproximately 28 amps.
No, you cannot use a starter rated for a 5 hp motor with a 7.5 hp motor. The starter needs to be matched to the motor's horsepower rating to ensure proper protection and operation. Using an undersized starter can lead to overheating and premature failure of the motor. It is recommended to use a starter specifically designed for a 7.5 hp motor.
The maximum single phase HP motor listed in the CEC is 10 HP. At 115 volts 100 amps and 230 volts 50 amps.
P=VI P=power V=voltage I=current therefore current drawn is 5000/400=50/4=12.5 amperes
Any single-phase a.c. generator producing more than 2.5 HP or 2 kW - at the required voltage.
For a single-phase induction motor, allow 7 amps on a 240 v for a 1-HP motor. Therefore the formula is: current = 7 X HP x 240 / voltage
You will need to install a phase converter or change the motor to single phase. You can find a licensed electrician at www.contraxtor.com
