Question

A 0.5 horsepower motor is ran at 240 Volts (single phase, 100% efficient)

  • How many kilowatts is this motor?
  • How many amps will that motor draw?
  • If it is running for 20 hrs a day for 20 days a month, how many total kilowatt-hours of energy does this motor use?
  • The motor exerts 1.5 ft lbs of torque.  What is the speed of this motor in RPM?
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

The power of the motor is 0.5 HP.

The potential difference of the motor is 240 V.

The efficiency of the motor is 100%.

Introduction:

The rate of doing work is called power. It is the work that is being done by the machine in a unit time.
