MOTOR ENGINEERING FORMULAS
Motor Application FormulasHorsepower = Torque (lb-ft) x RPM
5252
Torque (lb-ft) = Horsepower x 5252 RPM
Torque (N-m) = Kilowatts x 9550 RPM
Kilowatts = Torque (N-m) x RPM 9550
Centrifugal Applications
Where:FT = Head in feet*GPM = Gallons per minutePSI = Pounds per square inch*Head in feet = 2.31 x pounds per square inch gravity
HP = GPM x FT x Specific Gravity 3960 x Efficiency of PumpHP = GPM x PSI x Specific Gravity 1713 x Efficiency of Pump

"Guesstimating" Motor Current Draw*At 575 volts, a 3-phase motor draws 1 amp per horsepower.At 460 volts, a 3-phase motor draws 1.27 amps per horsepower.At 230 volts, a 3-phase motor draws 2.5 amps per horsepower.At 230 volts, a single-phase motor draws 5 amps per horsepower.At 115 volts, a single phase motor draws 10 amps per horsepower.*These will vary by motor type and application

IEC-Style Contactors and Starters Selection Guide Average Amperages for Given Horsepower Motor Ratings
The table below provides the average full-load currents of squirrel cage motors based on NEC (National Electrical Code) Tables 430-148, 149, and 150. These values are given only as a guide - they may vary depending on the type of motor and manufacturer. Refer to the actual motor nameplate for full-load current values.
