Rated Power and Actual Operational Expenditure of Centrifugal Pump
Dear LittleInch, Well noted, thank you very much for the explanation. So if the actual flowrate is way lower than designed one, amount of electricity consumed will be lower as well without using variable speed controller? For Example : Designed : Flowrate : 40 m3 Head : 18 m Theoritical...- FeliciaK

Rated Power and Actual Operational Expenditure of Centrifugal Pump
Dear All, I am new in engineering world and currently I am struggling to solve one issue: To calculate minimum needed motor capacity, I need to count : 1. Theoritical value of the pump (hydraulic power); (e.g : 1,96kW) 2. Rated power (hydraulic power / pump efficiency); (e.g : 1.96kW/ 0.55 =...- FeliciaK
