Can a garage door opener be attached to any roll up garage door?

The door assembly must be able to accommodate the apparatus of the garage door opener. Many older homes require a replacement garage door before an opener can be installed. You must also have clearance between the rolled up door and the ceiling to accommodate the door opener motor.


How does a person fix a broken garage door remote?

Many individual never thought of the work our garage door does - lifting and closing a large door every day, over and over again.. The fact is, your garage door opener really doesn't do much work, because of a physics helper, the spring! Springs are utilized as the door is lowered, and the springs are stretched out (the motor literally pushes the garage door down). When it is time to lift the door, the springs do 95% of the work as they recoil and pull the door back up, leaving the garage door motor to do little more than wind up the loose cable or chain. This is why most garage door openers are rated at only 1/2 to 1 horse power - it doesn't take much power to lift up a garage door that is being pulled up by stretched springs.

18kW motor will take how many amps?

To calculate the amps drawn by an 18kW motor, you can use the formula: Amps = Power (Watts) / Voltage (Volts). Assuming a standard voltage of 120V, the motor would draw approximately 150Amps. Note that actual amps will depend on the specific voltage of the motor.

How many amps will a 24 volt dc motor draw if running at 12 volts?

Depends on how big the motor is. A stronger motor will draw more amps then a weaker or less efficient motor. For example a wiper motor draws far less then a starter motor.


Why is my single phase induction motor drawing to many amps?

I have a single phase induction motor. It draws 8 amps on start up and climbs to 14-15 amps when I put a load on it. When I don't have a load it runs at 1 and climbs to 2-3 amps. It is normal operation for this motor to run at the lower number of amps with a load. But I don't know what is wrong.


How many amps will a 120 kw dc motor require?

Depends on the voltage.


How many amps drawn a 110KW motor?

Watts = Volts times Amps. Therefore, if the voltage was 220 volts, the motor would draw 500 amps. If the voltage was 4,000 volts, the motor would draw 27.5 amps. The voltages for large powerful motors tend to be relatively high, for example in the 380 Volts to 11,500 Volts range.
