Induction Motor Ampere Calculation Formula
3 Phase,
𝑃𝑃
𝐼𝐼 =
3 × 𝑉𝑉 × cosΦ × η
Single Phase,
𝑃𝑃
𝐼𝐼 =
𝑉𝑉 × cosΦ × η
Where;
I = motor running current
P = rated motor power in watt
V = rated motor voltage
Cos Φ = power factor
η (Eta) = motor efficiency
NOTE : Motor starting current can reach 4 to 7.5 time of motor running current.
Some Important Facts for Motor Name Plate Reading
• If delta connection of the motor voltage is over 380V can use star / delta starter.
• If delta connection of the motor voltage is 220V can’t use star/delta starter.
