power , P=1.732*V*I*power factor
so, the formula for calculate the load current for a 3 phase motor is,
I=P/(1.732*V*power factor)
Need to know the horsepower of the motor.
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.
use clamp on amp meter
This can be extremely dangerous if you do not know what you're doing. If you are even the slightest bit unsure call an electrician to do it. To measure amperage you will first have to turn the circuits off that feed the motor. Next you will have to open one of the connections for one of the phases and wire your amp meter in series with the motor meaning you will have to make the current pass through your amp meter and go into the motor once it is running. Make sure that your meter is sized and fused appropriately or you risk injury and damage to your meter, maybe even death.
Yes but only up to a load torque of 8/9 of the rated torque.
You have a double pole breaker for 240Volt supply. The maximum current is 15 amp.
I would go with 20 amp 3 pole 15 amp will also do
The 40 amp motor probably produces double the horsepower of the 22 amp motor.
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E.
Yes.
No, the breaker size is too big. A 1 HP, 230 volt motor draws 8 amps. The electrical code recommends for a motor with a full load amps of 8 amp that it use either 25 amp non time delay fuse, 15 amp time delay fuse or a 20 amp two pole breaker. These sizes will work up to 11 amp full load amps.
That would be a single pole 15 amp switch
No, a 6 amp switch should not be used to control a 12 amp motor as it may cause the switch to overheat and fail due to exceeding its amperage rating. It is important to match the switch's amperage rating with the motor's amperage to ensure safe and proper operation.
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.
Two single-pole 30 amp breakers tied together make a two-pole 30 amp breaker. From this you can power a device that requires 220-240 volts, typically.
No more than 13 maximum on a 20 amp circuit.
AWG 12/2 requires the use of a 20 amp single pole breaker.
