What is locked rotor?

Locked rotor current is the amount of current a motor would draw if you energize the motor and the rotor (the spinning shaft) doesn't spin.


What is locked rotor in three phase induction motor?

A motors locked rotor current is the same as the motors starting current. This is the point where the voltage is applied to a non rotating motor, time cycle zero. Because the motor is not rotation and generating a back EMF to oppose the inrush current, the current will go as high as 6 times the running current of the motor.


Different between locked rotor current and starting current?

Locked rotor current is the current drawn by a motor when the rotor is prevented from turning, usually occurring during a fault condition. Starting current, on the other hand, is the initial surge of current required to start the motor and overcome inertia. Locked rotor current is typically higher than starting current.

How a electorical motor works?

A current of electricity flows through some conductors inside the motor. These conductors create a magnetic field which in turn moves the magnet connected to the rotor.


What is the locked rotor current on a 3 ton air conditioner?

You need to first know the wattage of the motor and locked rotor current can be tested at a lab only


What are No Load And Locked Rotor tests on a three phase induction motor?

Doing a No Load test of a 3-phase induction motor involves the measuring of current, voltage, torque etc with no load on the rotor shaft, meaning that it is free to turn but is not driving anything else. Similarly a Locked Rotor test involves the measuring of current, voltage, torque etc with the rotor shaft "locked" i.e. prevented from turning, which is the worst loading condition the motor would ever have to contend with.


What is LRA of a motor?

Locked rotor ampere


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.


What is locked rotor current?

"Locked Rotor Current" also called LRA which stands for Locked Rotor Amps, is commonly found on electric motor nameplates. Locked Rotor essentially means the motor is not turning. The current or amps in this case have to do with the amount of electrical energy required to start the motor. At the instant the motor is switched on, it is not turning, and draws the maximum current. As the motor starts to turn, the current goes down. This required energy is much greater than the Full Load Amps or Running Amps, which is the current drawn when the motor is running at normal speed under full load. The current required to start the motor will depend on the type of motor as well as the specified design voltage required for the motor, typically the higher the voltage, the lower the required amperage or current. The term also applies to equipment such as Air Conditioners which have an enclosed motor inside the compressor, as well as the condenser fan(s) etc. Depending on the type of motor, LR current can be anywhere from 3 to 8 times the normal running current, also called RLA, or running load amps.


Locked rotor current Where and how is it used sizing and specifying equipment for motor installation?

The specifics of this are found in Article 430 of the National Electrical Code.
