Probably 2-3 HP.

The electrical code book states for estimating values only that a 1.5 HP motor operating on three phase 208 volts draws 6.6 amps. For calculating overload protection and conductor size, the motors nameplate rating should always be used.

How is a three phase agricultural motor used when there is no power supply?

With no three phase power supply you can't use a three phase motor of any kind at all!


Does motor rating mean the electrical power required into a motor or the electrical power of the motor's output?

Normally you would specify a motor to do a particular job by the mechanical power output you require.A motor takes electrical power "in" and produces mechanical power "out".Read whatever it says on the motor's rating plate or user-guide.The mechanical energy output of a motor is measured in various units around the world: for example in watts, horsepower (or brake horsepower).Another answerThe above answer is quite correct in stating that a motor's output power is its rated power as it's a guide to how much load it can drive.Power is simply a rate - the rate of transfer of energy. The horsepower is the Imperial unit of power, whereas the watt is the SI unit of power. In the US the output power of a motor is typically still measured in horsepower whereas in Europe the use of horsepower is almost obsolete, except for small "fractional horsepower" electric motors, and both the input power and the output power of a motor are measured in watts or, more likely, kilowatts.


What is the weight of a single phase motor vs a three phase motor having same power?

They will not be very different.


Where would power factor capacitors be installed on a 3 phase motor?

Power factor capacitors can be installed on a three phase motor between the motor contactor and the overload heater block.

What would be the horse power required in a 3-phase motor to replace a .5 horsepower single phase motor.?

You still need the same horsepower. The advantage of the three-phase motor is that it will draw lower current.


What is the actual power of a 5 horsepower motor?

A 5 horsepower motor would have 3,730 watts of power.


What is B.H.P in 3 phase induction motor?

BHP stands for 'brake horsepower', and simply means it is describing the output, rather than the input, power of the machine. Although a motor's output power is expressed in horsepower in North America, elsewhere it is expressed in watts.


What is horse power of a 415 volt 3 phase 7.5 kW electric motor?

Motors are rated according to their output power, never their input power. This is because it is the output power that determines the load the motor will be able to handle. The output power, of course, is lower than the input power due to the machine's losses.In North America, the output power is generally expressed in horsepower, whereas its input power is measured in watts. In the rest of the world, the horsepower is considered obsolete, so both the output power and the input power are measured in watts.As there are 746 W to the horsepower, your 75 kW output motor would be equivalent to approximately 100 horsepower.


What is the horsepower of a 3 phase 480 volt 1.7 amp motor?

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.

How many amps is 2 hp at 230V 3 phase?

6,25AnswerWithout knowing the efficiency of the motor, it's impossible to tell. The horsepower rating of a motor describes its output power; you need to know its input power in order to calculate its current.


How do you use a one phase motor in place of a three phase motor?

To use a single/one phase motor instead of a three phase motor is possible if you have a three phase power supply as you will only need to tap one of the three phases together with neutral and an earthwire, however to use a three phase motor instead of a single phase will require the provision of three phase power supply.

How much is the amps to run a three phase motor?

To find the amperage of a three phase motor, the following equation needs to be used. Amps = HP x 746/1.73 x Volts x % efficiency x power factor. once all of the values are added you can find the amperage of any Horsepower motor at any three phase voltage. A standard motor's efficiency between 5 to 100 HP is .84 to .91. A standard motor's power factor between 10 to 100 HP is .86 to .92.
