Can a 37KW motor be powered by a 30KW cable?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, our factory has a motor with a power rating of 37 KW, while the cable is designed for a 30 KW motor. Can it be connected directly to the 37 KW motor?
It’s hard to say, but it’s not very reliable. You need to consider the power required by the equipment driven by the motor; it is not recommended to use it in this way
The power required for the motor is 30KW. I asked a supervisor in the electrical department, and he said it’s okay. Could I ask the teachers at Haichuan if that’s okay?
Check the current-carrying capacity of the original cable to see if it can meet the requirements of the new motor; generally, there should be no problem.
Could you explain it in detail? I don’t quite understand. Do you mean whether the maximum current capacity of the cables in the past could meet the current range required by the new motors?
Yes, generally, a certain amount of slack is left in cable wiring; it’s sufficient to check whether the parameters of this cable specification meet the requirements of the new motor.
