when machine is taking electrical supply and produces flux, torque etc inside and gives mechanical (rotational) output it is MOTOR

but when this motor is connected to some thing which results in drawing current and work to be done, that thing is LOAD

without any load motor has maximum speed and by increasing load speed decreases..

Answer

Anything connected to a supply which draws current is a 'load'. 'Heavy loads' draw a lot of current, whereas 'light loads' draw little current. So a motor represents a load to the electrical supply; this applies whether the motor is driving a 'mechanical load' or not. We use the term 'mechanical load' to describe whatever (fan, compressor, pump, etc.) is being driven by a motor.

Can a 440 - 480V 60Hz motor run in a site with 380V 60Hz supply If No how can it work?

The motor will run, probably at nearly the same speed, but it cannot supply the same mechanical load. If it can be run on a lighter load, proportional to the voltage, it should be OK.


How do you calculate breaker capacity of 10 hp three phase induction motor?

The first thing you have to do is find the full load amps of the motor. The wire size feeding the motor has to be 125% of the full load current. The breaker is usually 250% of the full load current. If the voltage and amperage had been added to the question the exact breaker size could have been calculated.


Why less current increases in transformer than in induction motor when load is increase?

The current flowing through a transformer's secondary is the current drawn by the load, so it will be exactly the same as the current flowing through your induction motor -assuming that is the load. Don't really understand the point of your question!


What motor must be never run without a load connected to them?

DC Series motor should never run without load connected to it because starting torque for DC series motor is infinite and running it on no load will damage the motor due to overspeeding.


What is mechanical load in kW?

A watt is simply the SI unit of measurement for power. So, the power of a mechanical load applied, say, to an electric motor is typically measured in kilowatts. In North America, a mechanical load is still generally measured in horsepower, which is the Imperial unit of measurement for power. The watt and the horsepower are simply two different units for measuring precisely the same thing!

Why each phase no load power factor of 3 phase induction motor is not same?

That indicates a fault in the induction motor.


What measures should you take in order to rewind a motor for three phase?

Remove the motor from the system. Get the motor rewound at a motor rewinding shop. Replace the motor back into the system. While the motor is at the rewind shop find out why the motor burnt out. The first thing that should be checked is the overload protection. Make sure that is is the same as the motors full load amps.


What happens if load torque is same at full speed in separately excited dc motor?

Same as what? at maximum speed and torque, the motor delivers maximum power.

What is shaft motor?

It is the same thing as the motor's rotor speed given in revolutions per minute.


What is the speed of DC series motor at no load?

No load speed is the speed that the motor run when it has no load, i.e., the motor is separated from the engine, that speed is than greater than the rated speed, because the rated speed is the speed whwn the motor are linked to the load and it is the full load.
