How to calculate unit consumption on the basis of load. kWH=kwXhrs.is it correct? kw is motor load..

Answer / satish m

For three phase motor we needs to consider the PF also.
P = Sq.Rt 3 X V x I x pf

How to calculate unit consumption on the basis of load. kWH=kwXhrs.is it correct? kw is motor load..

Answer / shannu

Unit consumption is KW x Hrs.

But while you need to calculate the KWH consumed by a motor,
multiplying KW of motor (nameplate KW) and hour will not
give you the energy consumed. This is because the name plate
KW in a motor is not the electrical power, but the
mechanical power output provided by the motor (Electrical
Power = Frictional losses + Eddy current losses + Copper
losses + air gap losses + Mechanical power). In order to
calculate the energy consumed by the motor you can use the
formula

single phase AC = Voltage x Rated current x Power factor x
Hrs run. (100% load)

3 Phase AC = 1.732 x Voltage x Rated Current x Power factor
x Hrs run. (100% load)

Normally the power factor of motor is considered between 0.8
to 0.85 at full load operation.

At no-load, motor will take approx 40% of its rated full
load current (again this depends on the design of motor, but
normally assumed to be near 40%). So at 50% load, the motor
will take a current around 70 to 75% of its full load rated
current. so we can approximate as

energy consumed at 50% load (motor - 3 phaase) = 1.732 x
Voltage x 75% rated full load current x power factor x Hrs run .

at no load = 1.732 x Voltage x 40% of rated current x power
factor x Hrs run.

How to calculate unit consumption on the basis of load. kWH=kwXhrs.is it correct? kw is motor load..

Answer / shivpal prajapati

kwh=kw*hrs is not correct.
kw=1.732*v.i.0.85,if motor rated current 64amp,
Then calculated value kw=1.732*415*64*0.85

How to calculate unit consumption on the basis of load. kWH=kwXhrs.is it correct? kw is motor load..

Answer / tushar amarghade

for 100% load
unit(kwh)- kw*hours/1000
where,
KW for single phase- V*I*PF
KW for THREE phase- 1.732*V*I*PF

How to calculate unit consumption on the basis of load. kWH=kwXhrs.is it correct? kw is motor load..

Answer / prabhu

In single phase
KW= Voltage X current
In 3 phase
KW= Sq.Rt 3 X V x I
For 100% load I=I
For 50 % load I= 50/100 X I= I/2

I is the rated current of the machine

In our factory so many iron pillors are exists for supporting the shed/Hangar. If do more no of earthings at one piller instead of doing more earth pits in many locations and running earth strip around the hanger, I can save the money. Please suggest this method is acceptable as per Is specifications though the Earth resitance of the farthest piller is with in the limits as per IS specifications.
