Others Formula
kW = hp x .746
Torque in lb-ft = hp x 5250 / rpm
Motor synchronous speed in rpm = 120 x Hz / number of poles
Three-phase full-load amp= hp x .746 / 1.73 x kV x effi ciency x power factor
Rated motor kVA = hp (.746) / efficiency x power factor
kW loss = hp (.746) (1.0 effi ciency) / efficiency
kVA in-rush = percent in-rush x rated kVA
Approximate voltage drop (%) = motor kVA in-rush x transformer impedance / trans
former kVA
Stored kinetic energy in kW-sec = 2.31 x (total Wk2) x rpm2 x 107
Inertia constant (H) in seconds = stored kinetic energy in kW-seconds / hp (.746
)
Conversion factors: CV = (metric hp) = 735.5 watts = 75 kg-m/sec Wk2 (lb-ft) = 5
.93 x GD2 (kg-m2)
Ventilating-air requirements: 100-125 cfm of 400C air at 1/2-in. water pressure
for each kW of loss
Degrees C = (Degrees F-32) x 5/9
Degrees F = [(Degrees C) x 9/5 ] + 32
