What is the total load for a feeder serving four 2hp motors, three 5hp motors, one 15hp motor, and one 25hp motor?

To determine the total load for the feeder serving the specified motors, you first need to convert the horsepower (hp) of each motor into watts or kilowatts and then apply the appropriate conversion factor to find the total current.

1. Conversion of Horsepower to Watts: The formula to convert horsepower to watts is:

[

\text{Power (Watts)} = \text{Horsepower} \times 746

]

• For the four 2 hp motors:

[

4 \times 2 , \text{hp} \times 746 , \text{W/hp} = 4 \times 1492 = 5968 , \text{W}

]

• For the three 5 hp motors:

[

3 \times 5 , \text{hp} \times 746 , \text{W/hp} = 3 \times 3730 = 11190 , \text{W}

]

• For the one 15 hp motor:

[

1 \times 15 , \text{hp} \times 746 , \
