Question

Amotor supplied by 240V requires 12A to lift a 2000 lb at a rate of 25 ft/min, me power input to the motor is-

Answer 1

Power input, P = 2880 watts

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of the motor, V = 240 V

Current required, I = 12 A

Weight lifted, W = 2000 lb

It is lifting at a speed of 25 ft/min. We need to find the power input to the motor. The product of current and voltage is called power input of the motor.

`P=I* V`

`P=12\ A* 240\ V`

P = 2880 watts

So, the power input of the motor is 2880 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.
