What is the continuous current of 10HP star delta motor
To answer this question the voltage of the motor must be stated.
Full load current ofthe motor x 0.58
The ratio is between 30% to 40 %
Across the line starting of a motor can be as high as 300% of the full load amps.
decrease in starting and running torque and speed is almost constant from no load to full load. it's because the field voltage is consant and current is varied.
The first thing you have to do is find the full load amps of the motor. The wire size feeding the motor has to be 125% of the full load current. The breaker is usually 250% of the full load current. If the voltage and amperage had been added to the question the exact breaker size could have been calculated.
Full load starting current is typically in the region of 5or 6 times the full load motor current;.
Full load current ofthe motor x 0.58
This type of motor starting is used to reduce the inrush current to a lower level. Once the motor is operating at the lower level of run current it changes to a delta connection which allows the motor to operate at its full load amperage rating.
480V about 20A 240V about 40A look at the nameplate duty cycle and efficiencies vary
The only thing that will trip the starter, is the load of the motor. Check the motor leads to make sure you have not crossed them over coming from the motor junction box. If the motor current is normal nameplate full load amps when run across the line then reduce the timing of the timer on the switch over from star to delta.
As the no load current is the current due to core losses of the motor which is very small .in no load terminals are open circuited no current flows through it, a small current flows which is due to core
3phese 460 volt 75 kw a/c drivi full load current
The ratio is between 30% to 40 %
FLA: Full Load Ampere. Its the current drawn by the motor when the motor is running at full load FLA = kW / (1.732*V*pf*efficiency*100)
Across the line starting of a motor can be as high as 300% of the full load amps.
According to 2011 nfpa 70 nec Motor conductors are sized with the flc- full load current or the nameplate rating fla- full load amperes
The inrush current to the starting motor is lower due to the the motor coils being in series across the line creating a higher impeadence. When the starter connects to delta connection the motor is already turning and it does not have to go through the locked rotor phase. This system is being phased out now with the use of electronic soft starts and by-pass contactors.To start a motor direct on line (DOL) in delta requires approximately 6 to 8 times the full load current of the motor and delivers full torque. Delta places 415v across each of the windings on the motor. A Star-Delta starter starts the motor in Star which places 240v across each winding on the motor. This results in a lower starting current and also a lower starting torque.
