The power mentioned on the name plate of an electric motor indicates____________?
Correct answer: D. the output power available at the shaft
- A. the power drawn in kW
- B. the power drawn in kVA
- C. the gross power
- D. the output power available at the shaft
Explanation
A motor nameplate normally specifies its rated mechanical output, measured at the shaft. The electrical input in kW or kVA is higher because losses occur in the motor.
