Instructions to use this spreadsheet:

1. Shaded cells are calculation cells which are visible. There are calculation cells in hidden rows and columns.

2. Input values only in the unshaded cells.

3. For more than 40 entries, a second copy of the spreadsheet is recommended. A careful copy/insert could also be
used with caution.

4. Flow and Pressure units are pull down selections. Select units from the pull down boxes in the cells. Seven choices
for flow and eight choices of pressure are available. More choices could be added, again using caution.

5. SG is specific gravity, let it remain at 1.0 for gas (fan) estimates.

6. Oversize is an added percentage of the calculated brake load.

7. The two Decimal-to-… tabs are for lookup tables in the motor estimate tab.

8. Hp and kW motor selections are for the individual operating point. A quantity listed is only for reference, as is the
AFD and emergency power columns.
