Generally a motor drives some equipment, it could be a fan, or a pump, connected to motor's shaft. The speed of the motor when no equipment is connected to its shaft is known as no load speed.

It means exactly what it states. If you run a motor with nothing connected to the output shaft (no load) the motor would be running at no load speed. The nameplate amperage would not be reached. One a load is connected the motor will run at nameplate amperage if the motor has be HP sized to the load. If the motor is undersized in HP the motor will overload and run higher than the nameplate rating. Running the motor in an overload condition will shorten the lifetime of the motor.

What does no load speed mean?

It is the speed you electrical drive device will run when it is just running but has not load. This would apply to: a furnace fan motor (or any motor) not connected to the fan a pump that is running but is not pumping anything a blender with no mixing container on top And so on


Why is a motor needed in a circiut?

A motor is not needed in a circuit, a motor is an electrical load for the current to drive, but the circuit can perform with other types of load - such as a lamp, a transformer, a heating coil, or any electronic load. if you mean 'why does an electric motor need a circuit?' this is because the motor is an electrical device which has coils of wire to produce a magnetic field, without the circuit it cannot function.

High output could mean many things, but it probably means an electric motor with a lot of power for its size.


How control dc motor using micro controller?

The speed of the motor depends on load, voltage and current. The speed can be maintain by using a method called Pulse code modulation (PWM). By changing (modulating) the width of the pulse applied to the DC motor we can increase or decrease the amount of power provided to the motor, there by increasing or decreasing the motor speed. mean we have to just change the duty cycle of modulating output.

What is stall condition of motor?

Stoll condition of a motor or Stall torque is the torque which is produced by a device when the output rotational speed is zero. It may also mean the torque load that causes the output rotational speed of a device to become zero - i.e. to cause stalling.Stalling is a condition when the motor stops rotating.This condition occurs when the load torque is greater than the motor shaft torque i.e. break down condition.In this condition the motor draws maximum current but the motor does not rotate.The current is called as Stalling current.

What does 12 amps resistive load mean?

A resistive load just describes something like a toaster, electric water heater or space heater, where the load is relatively constant. The description is used to distinguish from something like an electric motor, which uses much more current at startup then drops off significantly after it is running.AnswerIn a.c. circuits, a resistive load describes a load whose load current is in phase with its supply voltage. Expressed another way, it is a load having unity power factor. Resistive loads are not necessarily constant -for example a tungsten-filament lamp has a low resistance when cold and a high resistance at its operating temperature.


Can a 1 hp electric motor run a 3000 watt alternator?

Usual configuration, it is an engine that is used to turn a generator not a motor. If you mean it the other way around, will a 3000 watt generator have enough output to operate a 1 HP motor. 1 HP is equal to 746 watts. Keep in mind when a motor start it can take up to 300% of its full load amperage.
