Step 1
S = V * I S = 220 V * 15 A S = 3300 VA The power factor (PF) is the ratio of the real power (P) to the apparent power (S). PF = P / S Since the motor is operating at its full load, the real power is equal to the rated power of the motor, which is 5 hp. P = 5 Show more…

A three-phase induction motor is rated at $5 \mathrm{hp}, 1760 \mathrm{rpm},$ with a line-to-line voltage of $220 \mathrm{V} \mathrm{rms}$. The motor has a power factor of 80 percent lagging and an efficiency of 75 percent under full-load conditions. Find the electrical input power absorbed by the motor under full-load conditions. Also. find the rms line current.
5. A 400-V, 3-phase, Y-connected synchronous motor takes 3.73 kW at normal voltage and has an impedance of (1 + j8) ohm per phase. Calculate the current and p.f. if the induced e.m.f. is 460 V. Answer is 6.28 A and 0.86 leading
