| Common Motor Formulas |
| Ohms Law: |
| Ohms=Volts/Amperes |
Amperes=Volts/Ohms |
Volts=Amperes x Ohms |
| Power - AC Circuits - 3 Phase: |
Efficiency = 746 x Output Horspower
Input Watts |
KW = Volts x Amps x Power Factor x 1.732
1000 |
Amps = ________746 x Horsepower__________
1.832 x Volts x Efficiency x Power Factor |
Power Factor =____Input Watts____
Volts x Amps x 1.732 |
|
HP = Volts x Amps x 1.732 x Efficiency x Power Factor
1.832 x Volts x Efficiency x Power Factor |
|
Motor Application Equations: |
Torque (lb ft) = Horsepower x 5250
RPM |
|
Horsepower = Torque (lb ft) x RPM
5250 |
|
Time for Motor to Reach Operating Speed: |
Seconds = ___WK2 x Speed Change____
308 x Avg. Accelerating Torque |
|
WK2 = Inertia of Rotor + Inertia of Load (lb-ft2) |
Avg. Acc. Torque = ((FLT + BDT)/2)+BDT+LRT
3 |
Load WK2(@ Motor Shaft)= WK2(load)xload RPM2
Motor RPM2 |
Shaft Stress (psi) =______HP x 321,000______
RPM x Shaft Diameter3
|
| For Pumps: |
Horsepower = GPM x Head in Feet x Specific Gravity
3960 x Efficiency of Pump |
| For Fans and Blowers: |
Horsepower = __CFM x Pressure (psf)__
33000 x Efficiency of Pump |
