We have filled in an example motor nameplate. Change the three phase-current readings, running hours or tariff to see how estimates and recommendations respond.

1. Example motor

Fictional sample data

9.2 kW, 4-pole transfer pump motor, 400 V 50 Hz · 17.8 A full-load current · PF 0.84 · assumed 89% efficiency. Nothing is stored or uploaded.

Reference: P-101 (example)
Application: Transfer pump
Rated output: 9.2 kW
Rated current: 17.8 A

What an engineer would review

Pump without a VSD: review throttling, operating profile and speed-control suitability.

Current imbalance: 4.2%. Measurements of real kW and the operating profile are preferable for decisions. Savings are not guaranteed.
