This might help you. First and foremost is the information the manufacturer puts on the nameplate of the motor. Second, the generic amperage can be found on motor charts that are on the internet. Third you can use a formula to find the approximate amperage. HP = Amps x Volts x 1.73 x pf/746. Transposed for Amperage, Amps = HP x 746/Volts x 1.73 x pf. Use power factor = .9 For estimating a 10 HP motor running on 208 volts. Amps = 10 x 746/ 208 x 1.73 x .9 = 7460/323.85 = 23.03 amps. See how much easier it is to read the nameplate.

kW = (V × I × PF × 1.732) ÷ 1,000.

now if we assume unity PF and solve this equation for "I," we get:

I = 1,000kW ÷ 1.732V.

There must be any one of three additional values need to make a computation. The three values need to be either kVA, kW or HP.

Why is important for three phase supply voltage to be in-phase?

The phase voltages (i.e. line-to-neutral in a 4-wire system, or line-to-line in a 3-wire system) of a three-phase system are displaced from each other by 120 electrical degrees. Each phase voltage, in fact, is rarely in phase with its phase current, as the phase-angle (the angle by which a phase current lags or leads its phase voltage) is determined by the load not by the supply.In general, most loads are resistive-inductive so the phase current usually lags the phase current.So, to answer your question, it's not important that a phase current is in phase with its phase voltage -if that is what you are asking.


How much current will flow in neutral line for three phase supply 100amps?

If all three legs of the system are balanced then zero amps will flow all the way up to 100 amps if only one leg of the three phase system is used. The neutral in a wye three phase system carries only the unbalanced current. This is why in services for a three phase four wire system you are allowed to reduce the size of the neutral conductor.


What are the uses of three phase transformer over single phase and their losses?

For a given load, a three-phase system requires around 75% of the volume of copper required by a corresponding single-phase system and, so, is more economical. A three-phase supply also delivers power more or less continuously, whereas a single-phase supply delivers power in pulses. Finally, three-phase motors are self-starting and physically smaller than single-phase machines of the same power rating.


What is the fuse rating in HT side of 11.4kv500kva transformer?

You need to specify the phase. I assume it is 3 phase system. Then the HT current is 30.3 amps


What is the Difference between single phase current and three phase current?

given a balance three phase, three wires system with star-connected load for which lime voltage is 230v and the impedance of each phase is (6+j8)ohm. find the line current and power absorbed by each phase.

What is current in three phase and single phase?

All current is the passage of electric charges from one terminal to another through a conductor so there is no real difference in the type of current that flows in a 3 phase system compared to a single phase system.


Why the neutral cable takes high current than the phase lines in three phase installation?

In a properly balanced three phase system, there is negligible current on neutral. If there is substantial current on neutral, then the system is not balanced and/or something is wrong.


What is the limit or range of the neutral current in an unbalanced three phase system for it to be regarded as faulty?

The limit or range of the neutral current in an unbalanced three phase system is the third harmonic in single phase non-linear load current is the major contributor to neutral current.


Why neutral cross section is half the phase in three phase cable while it has to carry current of summation of all phase..?

The current carried by the neutral of a three phase four wire system is the un balanced current. If the three phase system was completely balanced on all three phases there would be no need for a neutral, eg a three phase motor. This neutral current will be less that the phase current so a reduction in the neutral size is allowed.


How do you calculate the total input current from a 3-phase power source when the current from each phase is known?

Add them upAnswerThere is no 'total' current in a three-phase system. The current flowing in each line (not 'phase') is considered separately. And you most definitely don't 'add them up'!


What are the advantages of providing alternating current supplies in three phase form over single phase form?

Over all losses are less in three phase AC system compared to 1 phase. For a given load (KW) 1 phase system would draw more current


What is the difference between Load Current Line Current and Phase Current?

A load current is a current drawn by an electrical load. In other words, it is the current flowing from the source to the load.For a single-phase system, a line current is a current flowing through the line, or 'hot', conductor, while the current through the neutral conductor is called the neutral current.For a three-phase system, the three 'hot' conductors between the load and the source are called 'lines' and, so, the currents passing through them are called 'line currents'. For a three-phase system, loads are either connected between line conductors (delta-connected system) or between each line and the neutral (star- or wye-connected system), and represent the phases -so the currents passing through the loads are called 'phase currents'.For a balanced three-phase system, the line current is 1.732 times the value of a phase current, where the phases (loads) are connected in delta. For phases (loads) connected in star (or 'wye') the line current is numerically-equal to the phase currents.

Why set an overload relay to full load current divide by root three in a star delta starter?

In a Wye/star system the overloads look at the phase to neutral/ground current; not phase to phase current. Which is always calculated as root three or 1.73205.............etc. Therefore the overloads have to be set to the phase to neutral/ground current.


What is phase current?

A phase current is the current passing through a phase, whereas a line current is the current flowing through a line.


Is house current fit for single or three phase motor?

House current is single phase.AnswerIt depends on the system supplying your residence. Most are single phase, but some, such as here in Cyprus, have a three-phase supply as standard.


What does electrically balanced mean?

In a three phase system, if the current in all three phases are same, then it is a balanced system.
