- An electric motor driving a skip hoist with- draws 1.5 metric tons of minerals from a trench 20 m deep every 30 seconds. If the hoist has an overall efficiency of 94 percent, calculate the power output of the motor in horsepower and in kilowatts.arrow_forwardThe efficiency of a motor is always low when it operates at 10 percent of its nominal power rating. Explain.arrow_forwardA dc motor connected to a 240 V line pro- duces a mechanical output of 160 hp. Knowing that the losses are 12 kW, calculate the input power and the line current.arrow_forward
