Hi all,
I am a mechanical engineer and going to commission a small grinding mill in couple of weeks. My knowledge on electrical stuff is limited so I appreciate if someone help me out on this. We measure the motor power draw by measuring the current drawn by motor. But how can I calculate the motor power draw using information on the motor name plate and current reading?
I just want to make sure the motor is not drawing more power than it should knowing that the PF varies depending on motor load.
