Additional protection of an approved type must be provided to protect each motor against operating overloads. 15.000 0.000 5.000 50.000 0.000 For full-voltage starting of normal torque, normal starting current motors. For reduced-voltage starting of normal torque, normal starting current-motors and full-voltage, starting of high-reactance, low starting current squirrel-cage motors. METHOD OF DETERMINATION OF ELECTRICAL LINE LOSS Used when meter is located an appreciable distance from the pump motor Watts equals I 2 R per line. Kilowatts or kw equals I 2 R, divided by 1,000. R equals the resistance of one line. For -phase circuit kw equals I 2 R, divided by 1,000. R equals the resistance in ohms for wire size used. I equals the full load current of the motor. Full load current of the motor should be obtained from the name plate on the motor. See tabulations at right for values of R. For more accurate determination, use the same value of R and determine I by use of an ammeter in the circuit. After determining the total kw loss, subtract this figure from the kw input to the motor.
