    150KVA diesel generator to start 75HP pump motor?

    Thank you busbar for your quick response,according to the manufacturer the max. sarting capacity is 160% of the rated generators capacity(i.e 344 Amp.) for 6 sec. Do you think this is suffecient to start up the motor through the soft starter?

    150KVA diesel generator to start 75HP pump motor?

    We have a 75 HP motor(400v,50Hz,FLA=105A)operated through a solid state starter(soft starter),usually working on the utility grid powr supply. We tried to connect it to a standby diesel generator of 150 KVA rating,the generator failed to start the motor. The strange thing with this motor that we...

    Vertical 700HP,3.3KV rotor problem?

    We have experienced a noise problem with the motor that drives a vertical turbine can pump.After disassembling the motor it appeared that the rotor was touching/scratching the stator.Some opinions say that its because of the improper sized thrust bearing,but no clear cause is finalized. My worry...
