A voltage of 240 volts is not a common three phase voltage. Single phase kva of 240 voltas and 50 amps is I x E/1000 = 240 x 50 = 12000/1000 = 12 kVa

--

Assuming the 240 volts is phase to phase voltage, and this is a three phase application:

KVA = V*I*sqrt (3) = 20.78KVA

How many amps will a 10 kva transformer handle?

It depends on how many amps it was designed for. A 12.5kV/600v 10kVA 3 phase transformer can handle ~.5 amps on the primary and ~10A on the secondary. A 600/120V 10kVA 3 phase transformer can handle ~10A on the primary and ~50 on the secondary.


How many items will a 15kva electric generator support?

In theory, you should be able to load your generator to 15 kV.A (mine stalls far below that load, though!!!). So, divide this figure by the rated output voltage of the generator, and this tells you the maximum current it can supply. The sum of your individual loads should not exceed that value of current. (The current drawn by an individual load is its power rating divided by the supply voltage -just add them up!).


If a load takes 50 kW at a power factor of 0.5 lagging Calculate the apparent power and reactive power?

If a load takes 50 kW at a power factor of 0.5 lagging calculate the apparent power and reactive power Answer: Apparent power = Active power / Power Factor In this case, Active power = 50 kW and power factor = 0.5 So Apparent power = 50/0.5 = 100 KVA


What size motor overloads to put on a 3 phase motor.i how to go about to calculate this. its a 5 HP Motor208-230 volt12.9amp at 208SF1.25 SFA 16.1. the motor is a outdoor motor replacing and old o?

5 HP is equal to 3.7 KW. 415 Volts 3 phase 50 hz system takes 6.29 amps. Same 3.7 KW motor with 230 volts, single phase 50 hz takes 18.9 amps. Same 3.7 kw motor with 230 volts three phase 50 Hz takes 11.1 amps. These are full load current with 0.85 assumed power factor. To arrive at over load, you may 5 to10% over load and set the over load setting.


How many amps does a HP motor V 3 phase pull?

The 50hp motor has a current rating of 55.4 amps if its power factor is 0.8.Another Answer:One horsepower (electric motor) is 746 watts, so 50 horsepower is 37.3 KW. Assumed power factor is 0.8, so divide by 0.8 to get 46.6 KVA. Assumed efficiency is 0.95, so divide by 0.95 to get 49.1 KVA. The motor is three phase, so divide by three to get 16.4 KVA per winding. It is 480V so divide by 480 to get 34.1 amperes per winding. Assumed configuration is to run on delta, so multiply by 1.732 (square root of 3) to get 59.0 amperes per phase. This is very close to the 55.4 stated before.

How many amps needed for 50kva?

To answer this question a voltage value must be stated. Divide the voltage into 50 KVA and your answer will be in amps.


How many amps will a 50KVA 3phase bank carry on 277 - 480 volts?

50 kVA is 16.667 kVA per phase and you divide that by the phase voltage. Current = 16667 / 277 = 60 Amps


How many amps on 25 kva transformer 1phase secondary 230 volts?

Take the KVA and divide it by the voltage. 25/.230 = 109 amps. The transformer can put out up to 50% more that its rated for short durations. So you could get around 150 amps out of a 25 Kva tranformer in a worst case situation.


Is it normal of 50 ampere circuit breaker rating to be hot when load is 17 amps 3 phase at 240volts?

No, the 50 amp breaker should not be getting hot with a 17 amp load. Shut the service off at the disconnect and check the bolts that tighten the breaker to the distribution's bus bars. Check the tightness of the load side of the breaker. if all of these connections are tight then change the breaker out for a new one.

How much HP is 125 KVA?

Technically, it depends on the power factor of the 50 KVA circuit, which is not stated.If the load is purely resistive, then the power factor is ' 1 ', and50 KW = 67.05 Horsepower .If the power factor is not ' 1 ', then 50 KVA = (67.05 HP) x (power factor).

How many output amps is a 45 kva transformer?

There is not enough information provided to answer. KVA is short for "Kilo Volt Amperes". That is, thousands of Volt Amps. In order to determine how many Amperes are flowing, you must know at what voltage it is operating. Amperes = 45,000 ÷ volts Bill Slugg

10kw heater at 220V draws how many amps?

45-50 amps. But your overcurrent protection and wire must be designed for 125% of load so the max overcurrent protection is 55 amps or 60


Can you install 60 amps generator and only get 50 amps AC power at 110 - 240 volts?

If you need 50 amps you can use a 60 amp generator or any other generator rated to supply more amps. The voltage, 110 v or 240 v, must be the right voltage for the load used.


How much current will be drawn by a120v series circut containing a 100 ohm load and a 50 ohm load?

If they are in series, the total resistance is 150 ohms so the current is 120/150 amps. If they are in parallel, the current is 120/100 plus 120/50 amps.
