OHM'S LAW

Resistance, R = Voltage [ohm]


Current

Current, I = Voltage [ampere]


Resistance

Voltage, V = Current x Resistance [volt]

SINGLE PHASE A.C. POWER

Power = V x I x cosΦ [watt]

where cosΦ = power factor

THREE PHASE A.C. POWER

Power = 1.732 x V x I x cosΦ [watt]

SERIES A.C. CIRCUIT

Reactive or 'Idle' Component = tanΦ x kW [kVAR]

Reactive kVA = kVAR = (kW2 + kVAR2)½ [kVA]


sinΦ

Active Component = kVA x cosΦ [kW]

EFFICIENCY

Efficiency = 746 x Output Horsepower


Input Watts

INDUCTION MOTOR

Synchronous Speed, Ns = 120 x frequency (hertz) [rpm]


number of poles
Actual Speed, N = Ns(1-slip) [rpm]

Rotor output = Torque x 2 x π x N [watt]
