can anyone please help me out with this question....it would mbe much Appreciated thanx

A electrical motor has a efficiency of 75% when running at 1450 rev per minute. Determine the output torque when the power input is 3KW.

can someone help me asp plz

The formel to use is :

Power = Torque * radial speed

Power = 3 * 0.75 = 2.25 kW = 2250 Watt

Radial speed = 2 *3.141593 *1450 / 60 = 151.8437 rad/sec

Torque = Power/radial speed = 2250/151.8437 = 14.81787 Nm

Problem solved ?

Thats all well and good but what is he operating with the motor?, since it is safe to assume he wants a work load against it.

Also in the mix is the start up amperage which is usually one and one half times the rated amperage unless there is a soft start etc.

Also need to know whether it is DC or single or three phase AC, is there a capacitor in the mess some where?

a lot of variables before we can make a recipe.

thankz alot man u helped a lot .........when i compared my answer it was the same but the working out was different ..... thankz very much

One Last problem

If the electric motor has a piece of wire of cross sectional 2mm has a resistance of 300ohms. Find:

A)The resistance of the same length and material if the cross sectional area is 5mm

B)The cross sectional of the same length and material if resistance is 750ohms.

The formal to use is :

R = (rho * L) / A

(rho * L) = A * R = 2 * 300 = 600 Ohm

Then : R = 600 / 5 = 300 Ohm

Then ; A = 600 / 750 = 0.8 mm2

OK ?
