Chapter 37, Problem 1RQ
To determine
The full load running current of the motor.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Horsepower is
Armature voltage rating is
Solution:
Refer Table 430.247 “Full Load Current in Amperes, Direct Current Motors” from page 368 and obtain the full load current in amperes corresponding to the horsepower of 20 HP and the armature voltage rating of 500V as follows:
Thus, the full load running current of the motor is
