I have seen folks calculate a “starting kVA” based on LRC x motor rated voltage x sqrt(3) and then apply the Starting PF = 0.15.
This will result to kW and kVars at starting but Im not convinced of the watts generated as the motor shaft just begun to turn.
Hi all,
I have been yearning to ask this question to our experts here for my enlightenment.
When an induction motor whose shaft is connected to a pump is started, a starting current is generated to develop the locked rotor torque required to move the rotor shaft at rest.
The current would be...
