OverviewReferences

1. Use this basic calculator to estimate the horsepower loading of an electric motor under field conditions
without knowing the power factor. This method requires you to know the amp load under no-load
conditions.
2. No Load Amps = Measures Amperage with Motor Uncoupled.
3. Full Load Amps = Motors Name Plate FLA
4. Acutual Amps = Mesured Running Amperage at Load Conditions.
