Three phase Motors Parameters calculations


It is very important to find  out electrical parameters for an electrical engineer.

Very time installation of motor required certain parameters calculations which are stated as below:-



Electrical Parameter to Find
Alternating Current
Single-Phase
Three-Phase
Amperes when horsepower is known
HP x 746
E x Eff x pf
HP x 746

1.73 x E x Eff x pf
Amperes when kilowatts are known
KW x 1000

E x pf
KW x 1000
1.73 x E x pf
Amperes when KVA are known
KVAx 1000
E
KVA x 1000
1.73 x E
Kilowatts
I x E x pf
1000
1.73 x I x E x pf
1000
KVA
I x E
1000
1.73 x I x E
1000
Horsepower = (Output)
I x E x Eff x pf
746
1.73 x I x E x Eff x pff
746

As from above we can find out ampere a motor can take. Day to day checking motor ampere is very much required for an electrical engineer.

Electrical Contactors AC1, AC2, AC3, AC4

Image
Electrical Contactors Utilization Categories:- Electrical Contactors are categorized according to the current making and breaking values for contactors. This will depend on the following: The type of load to be controlled (Inductive load, Lighting load, Motor load, Resistive load, Capacitive load) The operating cycle conditions. For any applications there are different contactors available depending upon load application which every electrical engineer you must know before designing any systems.  You may have often seen the ratings described on contactor name plate depicting various parameters. One of most important to be considered are as described in this article.  AC1 - These type of contactors are used for Non-inductive or slightly inductive loads they are used for Heaters which are resistive loads. AC2 - These type of contactors are used in Starting of slip-ring motors AC3 – They are particularly used for Starting of squirrel-cage motors and sw...
