I maintain conveyor systems and we are always changing out motors, and I have been wondering if before we put ' back into service ' we should be taking some test readings and recording them . I have asked our managers and they reckon that because we are not adding to or changing the circuit that...
Hey Guys
I am based in China and have 3 identical 60 meter 220v 1500 w water pumps supplying water up a hill of height about 120 meters and distance about 260 meters. They are currently connected in parallel but the problem is that they are all running at different speeds hence the water is not...

1. To measure loop resistance of small motors rated in KVA, we simply use a multimeter to get required results while for large motors/equipment rated in MVA we have to use a test set through which we apply some current & get the results. Why doesn't multimeter work there?
2. What is the...
New to these forums an just finished my apprenticship..

When selecting cable for small commercial fan motors do you have to take into account the startup current?
The motors usually are around 9.8A FLC and sometimes have a startup of around 30-35A.
Do i need to...
