Need to know the voltage and phase for this question.
Need to know the horsepower of the motor.
To calculate the horsepower of a 120-volt, 15-amp saw motor, you can use the formula: Horsepower (HP) = (Voltage × Amperage) / 746. Plugging in the numbers, you get HP = (120V × 15A) / 746, which equals approximately 2.41 HP. However, considering efficiency and power factor, the effective horsepower might be slightly lower, often around 1.5 to 2 HP for such motors.
Divide by 60.
HP/.00134= Watts Then Watts divided by Volts = AMPS For expample. a .75 HP electric motor running on 220VAC uses 2.544 amps .75 / .00134 = 559.7015 Watts then 559.7015 / 220 = 2.544
hi.. this is pankaj working as power engineer. we have a 11 kw induction motor which is used in fluidising blower. its no load current i sarround 9.5 to 10.6 amp. and under load its ampere does nt exceed 15 amp. its winding resistance is 1.4 ohm.
The 40 amp motor probably produces double the horsepower of the 22 amp motor.
Need to know the horsepower of the motor.
How to convert horsepower to amps? You'd have to make an assumption about volts. If it's running at 220 volts, that would make it 34 Amps. There are 746 watts in a horsepower and Amps = Watts/Volts.
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.
1 horsepower = 746 watts, 1 watt = 1 volt x 1 amp => 20 Horsepower = 14,920 watts => 14,920 watts / 220 volts = 67.82 amps
This is the formula for horsepower. HP = I x E x 1.73 x %eff x pf./746. The efficiency of the motor will have to be guessed at along with the power factor. A motor has a lagging power factor so will use a value of .85. For the efficiency of the motor lets say 90%. The value of 746 is the amount of watts in one horsepower. Now applying the values we end up with a HP value. HP = 1.7 x 480 x 1.73 x 90 x .85/746 = 1080/746 = 1.45 horsepower.
To calculate the horsepower of a 120-volt, 15-amp saw motor, you can use the formula: Horsepower (HP) = (Voltage × Amperage) / 746. Plugging in the numbers, you get HP = (120V × 15A) / 746, which equals approximately 2.41 HP. However, considering efficiency and power factor, the effective horsepower might be slightly lower, often around 1.5 to 2 HP for such motors.
At peak power it should draw 1.36 amp at power factor 1 or more realistically 1.7 amp at power factor 1.7.
To calculate the amperage needed for a 30 horsepower motor at 240 volts, you can use the formula: Amps = (Horsepower × 746) / Voltage. For a 30 HP motor, this would be (30 × 746) / 240, which equals approximately 93.15 amps. Therefore, you would need around 93 amps for a 30 HP motor operating at 240 volts.
Divide by 60.
To determine the horsepower required to drive a 100 amp alternator, you can use the formula: horsepower (HP) = (Voltage × Amperage) / 746. For a typical automotive system operating at 12 volts, the calculation would be (12V × 100A) / 746, which equals approximately 1.61 HP. This means that about 1.61 horsepower is needed to drive a 100 amp alternator effectively.
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.
