It can be 10% min and 5% max.

Answer

A nameplate voltage is a 'nominal voltage', and manufacturers normally design their products for the allowable variation in nominal voltage of the country in which they are to be marketed. So, for those products intended for, say, the British market, manufacturers would take into account the British allowable variation, which is 230 V (+10%/-6%). And, no doubt, most manufacturers would widen this variation to allow a 'factor of safety' for their products.

What is difference between nominal and terminal voltage?

The rated voltage of a motor listed on the nameplate is called the terminal voltage. This indicates the actual voltage on the motors terminals at which at which the manufacturer designed to operate. Whereas, Nominal voltage is the design or configuration voltage of the electricity distribution system.


How do you convert a 230 volt motor to 115 volt?

The wiring instructions for wiring a dual voltage motor are on the underside of the lid of the motors junction box. If it is not there look on the Internet for winding dual voltage motor connections.


What size breaker is used for a 300 horsepower motor?

A breaker is based on the amount of current that the motor draws. This amperage should be taken off of the motors nameplate. In motors of a specific horsepower the amperage is proportional to the voltage the motor uses. Without the motors voltage this question can not be answered.


Can a Volt motor run on Volt?

Short answer: No. (unless you like ruining motors) Longer answer: Not really, but there are some motors that can be re-wired so that instead of 440v they will run on 220v. However, this is not that common. Conclusion: Check the motor to see if it is dual-voltage on it's nameplate. If it is, you can re-connect it to work on 220v. If it is NOT a dual-voltage motor, you will absolutely ruin it if you connect it to 220v.


Does Pontiac owns Buick?

Pontiac and Buick are nameplates belonging to General Motors. And the Pontiac nameplate has been retired.


How can you know the motor's volt if it has to move a robot with known weight?

To determine the motor's voltage needed to move a robot with a known weight, you would calculate the torque required to move the robot and select a motor that can provide that torque at a specific voltage. Factors such as friction, wheel size, and terrain should also be considered in calculating the motor's voltage for efficient robot movement.


What size breaker is needed for a 125 hp motor?

It depends on what the amperage of the motor is. The motors amperage depends on the voltage of the motor. The higher the voltage the motor operates on the lower the amperage. So unless the amperage from the motor's nameplate is stated an answer can not be given.Just remember that the feeder capacity to the motor has to be 125% of the motors full load amperage and the breaker protecting the conductors to the motor has to be rated at 250% of the motors FLA. This higher breaker size allows the motor to start without tripping a normal size breaker that is rated for the lower conductor size.


Who makes Oldsmobile Intrigues?

Oldsmobile Division of General Motors. Oldsmobile is no longer made by GM. The nameplate has been discontinued.


What is high voltage motors and low voltage motors?

None: "high tension" is just another way of saying "high voltage".


What is Low Voltage Motors?

600v or less


Will 200 volt appliance work in with 240 volt supply?

It will work but not as efficient as the manufacturer designed it to. If motors are involved in the appliance they will run hotter as they will draw a higher amperage due to the lower voltage. Appliances with a wattage rating for heating elements will not reach their nameplate wattage rating.


How many volts do machines with bigger motors take?

It depends on ampage & voltage of the motors involved.
