Formulas For Quick Calculation of Horsepower and Power

The document provides formulas for calculating horsepower, torque, and electrical values related to motors and rotating objects. It includes formulas for calculating the horsepower of rotating objects based on torque and speed, objects in linear motion based on force and velocity, pumps based on gallons per minute and head, fans/blowers based on cubic feet per minute and pressure, and conveyors based on force and velocity. It also includes formulas for calculating torque based on horsepower and speed, force and radius, and acceleration. Formulas are provided for calculating synchronous speed and slip for AC motors.

and power

QUICK ESTIMATE FORMULAS


• Horsepower Formulas
• Torque Formulas
• AC Motor Formulas
• 3-Phase Electrical Formulas
HORSEPOWER FORMULAS
For Rotating HP =
Objects
Where T = Torque (lbft)
N = Speed (rpm)

Objects in Linear HP =
Motion
Where F = Force (lbs)
V = Velocity (ft/min)

For Pumps HP =

HP =

Where GPM = Gallons per Minute


Head = Height of Water (ft)
Efficiency of Pump = %/100
PSI = Pounds per Inch

Specific Gravity of Water = 1.0


1 CuFt per Sec. = 448 GPM
1 PSI = A Head of 2.309 ft (water
weight)
62.36 lbs per CuFt at 62°F

For Fans and HP =


Blowers
HP =

HP =

Where CFM = Cubic Feet per Minute


PSF = Pounds per Square Foot
PIW = Inches of Water Gauge
PSI = Pounds per Square Inch
Efficiency of Fan = %/100

For Conveyors HP (verticle)

HP (horizontal)

Where F = Force (lbs)


V = Velocity (ft/min)

Coef. of Friction
• Ball or Roller Slide = 0.02
• Dovetail Slide = 0.20
• Hydrostatic Ways = 0.01
• Rectangle Ways with Gib = 0.01 to
0.25

TORQUE FORMULAS
T= HP x 5252

Where T = Torque (LbFt)


HP = Horsepower
N = Speed (rpm)

T= FxR
Where T = Torque (LbFt)
F = Force (Lbs)
R = Radius (Ft)
Ta WK2 x Change in RPM
(accelerating)

308 x t (Sec)

Where Ta = Torque (LbFt)


WK2 = Inertia at Motor Shaft (LbFt)2
t = Time to Accelerate (Sec)

Note:
To change LbFt2 to InLbSec2, Divide
by 2.68
To change InLbSec2 to LbFt2, Mult. by
2.68

AC MOTOR FORMULAS
Sync Speed = Freq x 120
Number of Poles
Where Sync Speed = Synchronous Speed
(Rpm)
Freq = Frequency (Hz)

% Slip = (Sync Speed - FL Speed) x 100

Sync Speed

Where FL Speed = Full Load Speed (Rpm)


Sync Speed = Synchronous Speed
(Rpm)

Reflected WK2 WK2 of Load


=
(Reduction Ratio)2
