  2. Premium efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premium_efficiency

    Premium efficiency, when used in reference to specific types of Electric Motors (with a rotating shaft), is a class of motor efficiency.. As part of a concerted effort worldwide to reduce energy consumption, CO 2 emissions and the impact of industrial operations on the environment, various regulatory authorities in many countries have introduced, or are planning, legislation to encourage the ...

  3. Nameplate capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nameplate_capacity

    Nameplate capacity, also known as the rated capacity, nominal capacity, installed capacity, maximum effect or gross capacity, [1] is the intended full-load sustained output of a facility such as a power station, [2] [3] electric generator, a chemical plant, [4] fuel plant, mine, [5] metal refinery, [6] and many others. Nameplate capacity is the ...

  4. Load bank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_bank

    Resistive/reactive loads are able to mimic motor loads and electromagnetic devices within a power system, as well as provide purely resistive loads. Many backup generators and turbines need to be commissioned at nameplate capacity using a combination of resistive and reactive load to fully qualify their operating capability.

  5. Rating plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rating_plate

    The plate frequently contains the names of the machine and its manufacturer, so the rating plate is often called a name plate (hence the term "nameplate capacity" for a generator), although many devices carry separate nameplates and rating plates. [1]

  6. Electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

    An industrial electric motor . An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft.

  7. Capacity factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacity_factor

    The actual production is also influenced by local factors such as dust and ambient temperature, which ideally should be low. As for any power station, the maximum possible power production is the nameplate capacity times the number of hours in a year, while the actual production is the amount of electricity delivered annually to the grid.

    The motor size constant ) and motor velocity constant ... is primarily used to calculate the armature current for a given torque demand: = The SI units for the torque ...

  9. Horsepower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower

    Nameplates on electrical motors show their power output, not the power input (the power delivered at the shaft, not the power consumed to drive the motor). This power output is ordinarily stated in watts or kilowatts. In the United States, the power output is stated in horsepower which, for this purpose, is defined as exactly 746 watts.
