Help: How to calculate the power consumption of a three-phase asynchronous motor
Thread Content
for your info
Calculation of the active power of a three-phase motor: P = 1.732 * U * I * power factor. P = 1.732 * 380 * current flowing through the motor during operation * motor power factor (usually between 0.67 and 0.8; a lower value is used for low-power motors while a higher value is used for high-power motors)
P=1.732*U*I*power factor, where U and I are the actual measured values. When the load rate is around 80%, the power factor can be approximately 0.85; the lower the load, the lower the power factor.
Electricity usage is measured in kilowatt-hours; the power level (in KW) calculated upstairs represents the energy consumption per hour
