We are using an outdated DA program to record test data. our system calculates start current from the rms measured by a few yokagawa's. the start current is calculated
Irms/Vrms X Vrated= Istart
to really mess things up upon motor start we are seeing a 36% Vdrop
A 500Kw motor being powered By a...
Start voltage / amprage relation ship was given to me by one of our engineers as
Arated/Ameasured = Vrated/Vmeasured
so that if you see a V drop at the motor you will also see a decrease in Ampreres.
Is this correct????
We are experiencing a severe voltage drop at motor start. The motor 500Kw 3ph 2pole. 2300V
rated. Generator, cummins 2Mw set to 460 approx, 4-1 transformer, resistive load bank between gen/trans. we get 36%Vd at motor start. estimated start current is fine it is at or just above estimated value...
