Students have asked these similar questions
A (21 HP, 3-Phase, 380 volts) motor with an efficiency of 95% is operating at a load
factor of 0.63. What is the input current (Amperes) when the power factor is 89%? (1
HP = 0.75 kW)
There is a 3 HP, 220 Vrms single - phase induction motor that operates with a 0.85
lagging power factor and 80 9% efficiency. What is the magnitude of the RMS motor
current?
O 75 Amps
15 Amps
O 5 Amps
O 3 Amps
The reason why the starting torque of a series motor is higher than a shunt motor is
because the series motor has
O more current flowing through its armature
O a stronger net magnetic field around both coils during the inrush of stator current
