Understanding Motor Full Load Ток
Full Load Амперы (FLA) is the current a motor draws when operating at its rated horsepower and напряжение. This value is essential for sizing cables, breakers, starters, and overload protection. The motor nameplate FLA is always the most accurate reference.
Key Мотор Ток Values
Full Load Амперы (FLA): Normal operating current at rated load. Use for wire sizing and overload protection.
Locked Rotor Амперы (LRA): Starting current, typically 5-7× FLA. Use for breaker sizing and inrush calculations.
Service Factor Амперы (SFA): Maximum continuous current if motor has service factor > 1.0. SFA = FLA × Service Factor.
Провод and Breaker Размер
Per NEC requirements: Wire ampacity should be at least 125% of motor FLA. Breakers are sized at 175-250% of FLA depending on motor type. Overloads are set at 115-125% of FLA (or SFA if motor has service factor).
