    Electric motor - Locked Rotor Current

    Hi DanDel! Please note that the 'kva per hp'given in the equation is the locked rotor kva, as defined in NEC. The letter / alphabet given on a motor can be used to determine the kva per phase. e.g. Letter 'A' means 0-3.14 kva/hp. Hope it will clarify. God bless. mta2003

    Motor Thermal damage setting

    Hi! I think separate LRA protection is the best option, specially when starting current is very high and lasts for longer time due to high inertia e.g. large fans. In such case if the thermal over load is set at higher value than the normal full load rated current then in case of a faulty...

    Electric motor - Locked Rotor Current

    Hi! The locked rotor current is usually the starting current and is 6 to 7 times higher than the normal rated current. The formula for calculating LRA is: LRA = kva per hp X hp X 1000 X 1/k X 1 / line volts value of "k" is 1 for 1-phase, 2 for 2-phase and 1.732 for 3-phase. The LRAs are...
