The power and control circuits of a star-delta starter are discussed in this article with the help of an actual star-delta starter wiring diagram. You can find the instructions to calculate the ratings of contactors for a star-delta starter circuit here: Star-Delta starter design tool. Further operation in detail can be found here: Star-delta starter … Read more
What is ‘locked rotor current’? A motor at rest acts as if its rotor is locked. The locked rotor current and the starting current of a motor are one and the same. It is the starting current drawn by a motor when full nominal voltage is applied to its terminals. Here is a simple locked … Read more
The terms, motor rated current, full load current and nominal current, are very likely to confuse electrical engineers. Even though these terms are quite similar, there are slightly different from each other. Here is the clear definition of each one of them. Definitions Motor rated current The current drawn by a motor at its full … Read more
Motor rated current also known as full load amperes (FLA) of a motor is the maximum current the motor windings are designed to carry. Here is a simple motor rated current calculator. Motor data input Motor Type Three PhaseSingle Phase Enter the motor rated voltage V Enter the motor rated power HPkW Enter the motor … Read more
The speed of an induction motor is always lesser than its synchronous speed. The difference between the actual speed and the synchronous speed of a motor is known as slip. Here is a simple induction motor slip calculator. If you want to calculate the synchronous speed, you can use the synchronous speed calculator tool. Measured … Read more
An electric motor is an energy transformation machinery. It transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy. In other consumes electrical energy and delivers mechanical energy in the form of rotations. For example, an electric fan consists of a motor that draws electric energy from the mains and delivers kinetic energy (mechanical energy) in the form of … Read more
An electric motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. In general, an electric motor consists of a stator, a rotor, winding, bearings, and casing. The motor rotates due to the force of attraction or repulsion between the stator or rotor fields. This article provides you an overview of the parts of a motor. Parts of … Read more
Most of the time, the motor nameplates do not contain the number of poles data on them. The number of poles in a motor can be calculated from its synchronous speed and its rated frequency. Here is a simple synchronous number of poles calculator. Number of poles calculator in a motor Synchronous speed Rated frequency … Read more
