Motor Power & Torque Relation Formula

𝟐𝟐𝟐𝟐 × 𝐍𝐍 × 𝐓𝐓
𝑷𝑷 =
𝟔𝟔𝟔𝟔
Where;
P = motor rated power in watt
Torque = motor torque
N = motor speed
60 = constant unit (convert second to min)

Starting Capacitor Calculation Formula

I × 106
C=
2π × F × V

Where;
I - Motor Rated Current
F - Frequency
V - Supply Voltage

Running Capacitor Calculation Formula

P×η
𝐶𝐶 = 2 × 1000
V ×F
Where;
P - Motor Rated Power in Watt
η - Motor Efficiency
F - Frequency
V - Supply Voltage
 Induction Motor Ampere Calculation Formula

3 Phase,
𝑃𝑃
𝐼𝐼 =
3 × 𝑉𝑉 × cosΦ × η

Single Phase,
𝑃𝑃
𝐼𝐼 =
𝑉𝑉 × cosΦ × η
Where;
I = motor running current
P = rated motor power in watt
V = rated motor voltage
Cos Φ = power factor
η (Eta) = motor efficiency

NOTE : Motor starting current can reach 4 to 7.5 time of motor running current.
Some Important Facts for Motor Name Plate Reading

1. Service Factor for Motor

1.5 hp motor with a 1.5 S.F. can provide 2.25 hp of power for a short period. However, it is not good
to continuously operate a motor.

2. Insulation Class (CL) of Motor

3. Star / Delta Connection Voltage of Motor

• If delta connection of the motor voltage is over 380V can use star / delta starter.
• If delta connection of the motor voltage is 220V can’t use star/delta starter.
4. Duty of Motor
