Motor - Motor Starting Tab

Option Descriptions
Option Description

Motor kW

The required input or rated power of the motor.

kVA/kW or kVA/HP

Represents the efficiency of the motor. It is a conversion factor for delivered power and the required input power.

Locked Rotor Mult

Equal to the inverse of the subtransient reactance (also known as X"dv) and provides the value at which the full load amp rating of the motor is multiplied under short circuit conditions.

Starting Power Factor

The momentary power factor during the start of the motor. While the motor is under starting conditions, the reactive power is higher than the real power as a result of the starting power factor.

Calculate

Calculate uses data from the Specifications and TCC tabs to determine motor starting values. EasyPower references IEEE standards for the calculations.

For example, if Motor Starter on the TCC tab is set to something other than Full Voltage, it affects the calculations.
