Motor Rated BP
Motor Rated BP
(OP)
Help! I am a Gas Engineer and am reading a document with spec for electric motor. One section states "....unless the full load BP is less than or equal to 85% of the motor rated BP". Q. Is BP referring to Byass? If not, what?

RE: Motor Rated BP
A common motor sizing spec is to require the motor nameplate horsepower to be equal to the driven equipment's maximum bhp IF the motor has a Service Factor of 1.15. If the motor has a Service Factor of 1.00, the driven equipment bhp cannot exceed 85% (or 87%) of the motor nameplate hp.
