How do you calculate motor current?
The motor FLA calculator uses the following formulas:
- Single Phase AC Motor FLA (Amperes) = (P [kW] × 1000) / (V × cos ϕ)
- Single Phase AC Motor FLA (Amperes) = (P [HP] × 746) / (V × cos ϕ × η)
- Three Phase AC Motor FLA (Amperes) = (P [kW] × 1000) / (V × 1.732 × cos ϕ)
How do you calculate the power output of a motor?
By taking the voltage and multiplying it by the associated current, the power can be determined. A watt (W) is a unit of power defined as one Joule per second. For a DC source the calculation is simply the voltage times the current: W = V x A.
What is the efficiency formula?
Efficiency is often measured as the ratio of useful output to total input, which can be expressed with the mathematical formula r=P/C, where P is the amount of useful output (“product”) produced per the amount C (“cost”) of resources consumed.
How many amps is 3 horsepower?
Common Horsepower to Amps Conversions
| Horsepower | Amps | Efficiency |
|---|---|---|
| 3 HP | 20.7 A | 90% |
| 3.5 HP | 24.2 A | 90% |
| 4 HP | 27.6 A | 90% |
| 4.5 HP | 31.1 A | 90% |
What is average power formula?
If the resistance is much larger than the reactance of the capacitor or inductor, the average power is a dc circuit equation of P=V2/R, where V replaces the rms voltage.
