To determine

The full load running current of DC motor.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The power of the motor (P) is 20hp.

The voltage applied to the motor (V) is 500V.

Calculation:

Refer to the Table 430247 “Full load current in Amperes, Direct Current Motors.”

The full load running current of DC motor with a power of 20hp at a supply of 500V is 34A_.

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)
please answer quickly!!
In a given DC motor, the output power is 20 HP, and the copper losses are 1.1 KW. If the motor is operating at 87 % efficiency, find the converted power and the rotational losses. Select one: a. Pconv = 16.05 KW and Prot = 1.13 KW b. Pconv = 17.15 KW and Prot = 3.11 KW c. Pconv = 14.92 KW and Prot = 1.35 KW d. None
