In basic terms, it is the torque produced between the rotor conductors and the magnetic field, due to the currents flowing the the rotor conductors and the field windings that drives an electric motor. These currents, of course, are ultimately the result of the voltage(s) applied to those two circuits and the product of any voltage and in-phase component of any current determines the input power to the motor, while the load determines its output power. So, you could say that all these factors 'run' the motor!

How much electric power you can take from a 5KW generator?

5000 Watts if it runs ideally. It really depends on the generator's efficiency. Lets say, if its working on 80% efficiency, it'll provide with 0.8 * 5000 watts of electric power.


How many amps in 17000 watts?

At 240v single phase it's 70.8 amps. If it runs on 2 wires plus ground, take the voltage rating of the equipment and divide that into the watts to get amps. At 480v 3 phase it's 25.8 amps. At 208v 3 phase it's 47.2 amps. <<>> There are zero amps in 14 kW. A voltage needs to be stated. I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts.


How does the electric elevator operate?

An electric elevator operates using a system of cables, pulleys, and a motor. The motor, typically located at the top of the elevator shaft, drives a sheave (a pulley) that moves the elevator car vertically by winding or unwinding the cables attached to the car. When the motor runs in one direction, the elevator ascends, and when it runs in the opposite direction, the elevator descends. Safety mechanisms, such as brakes and limit switches, ensure the elevator operates safely and stops at designated floors.


How many watts load can you use with a 30amp trailer?

It depends on the voltage of your electrical system. The basic formula is watts = volts X amps. So, if your voltage is 120V then the absolute maximum watts available would be 3600 (30 * 120 = 3600). Note that this is the point at which the breaker would trip, so you could not count on 3600 watts for more than a few minutes. A good rule of thumb is to limit your normal load to 80% of the maximum available. In this case, 80% of 3600W is 2880W. If you put a frozen dinner in the microwave for 5 or 6 minutes and happened to push the watts up to, say, 3500, you would probably get away with it. But try the same trick with the air conditioning that runs for an hour or two and you will trip the breaker. Keep the watts below 80% and you can run forever.


What is differene between 2 pole 4 pole electric motor?

A 2-Pole motor runs twice as fast as a 4-pole motor. The 2-pole motor has 2 windings at 180 degrees apart and the four pole motor has four windings at 90 degrees apart. The rotor tries to move from pole to pole with each half cycle of the AC current so the motor no-load speed for 60 cycle current is 2x3600/#poles. This is 1800 rpm for a 4-cycle motor and 3600 rpm for a 2-pole motor.

How many KVA in mag watt?

You cannot convert Volts (or kv, 1000 volts) to watts (or mega watts, 1,000,000 watts) because volts are measure of electric potential difference between two points and watts are a measure of energy/time. However, WATTS = VOLTS x AMPS so... if you have 1000 AMPS flowing over a resistance/load with a difference in potential of 1000 volts (1 KV), you have 1,000,000 WATTS (1 MEGAWATTS) of energy consumed/time. So if a motor has 1KV potential accross its terminals and it is consuming 1,000 AMPS, it is a 1 MegaWatt motor (a large one indeed). To get energy, you have to multiply this 1MegaWatt x the time the motor runs and x a conversion factor to get to the appropriate unit of energy. Yes, I've been called a nerd before.


How many watts does 115 volts equal im trying to find out how many amps does a 115 volt is equal to?

Watts is found by multiplying the volts by the amps. Normally a supply is provided at a fixed voltage, and the amount of current that is drawn depends on how many watts the equpiment requires.


How can one tell the voltage of an electric motor?

It is possible to check the resistance of the motor leads compared to a known motor. You can also connect the leads to 120 volts temporarily. If the motor hums and runs slowly or not at all it is a 220 volt motor. If it runs normally, then it is a 120 volt motor. Testing should be done for only a few seconds so if the motor is designed to be run on 220 volts, you don't overheat or damage it on 120 volts.AnswerRead the nameplate information.

What wattage does a Dyson hand dryer operate at?

There at two different versions of the Dyson hand dryer. One is for the North American market, which runs on 208 volts at 1600 watts. The other is for countries whose outlets supply 110-120 volts of power and runs at 1400 watts.


How do you store the 30 volts produced from spinning an electric motor?

A motor can be connected up to a car battery to store the power produced when it runs as a generator, but you will find that when current is drawn the motor needs more work to spin it, it will not spin so easily. That is because of conservation of energy.


How do you know if a Blower motor ford focus is broken?

Connect the blower motor directly to 12 volts DC. If it runs it is good.


How much electrical energy does electric fan with a power rating of 100 watts use in 1 hour?

It varies tremendously depending upon the size of the fan and the power of the motor. The best way to answer your question would probably be to look at the back of the fan, or on the bottom. It usually will tell how many watts the fan draws. If it only tell amps and volts, remember that watts = amps X volts. Remember that watts does not have a time component; so to say that it draws a certain number of watts in an hour is not correct. You should rather ask, "How many watt-hours does it consume in an hour?" That is the number of watts times the number of hours that it drew that number of watts.
