Small motor load on transformer
Small motor load on transformer
(OP)
Hello all,
I am new here and also new in the electrical field.
I guess I am just looking for tips, formulas, or maybe rules of thumb that some of you experianced people have out there that could help some of us newbies out regarding sizing single phase distrbution transformers for smaller motor loads (compressors for example) say up to 10HP. This would be with 200 or 400 AMP entrance.
This has got to be the most interesting, informational engineering forum I have found out there - I wish I would have found this sooner!!!
Thank You for your responses!

RE: Small motor load on transformer
Just out of curiosity though, if you already know it is a 200A or 400A service, that would imply that you already have the service so what is the transformer for?

Thanks for the info on the Pocket Handbook - I will see if I can get a copy of one.
