a motor's measured current is 45amp,whereas the rated
current is 38 amps but still it is running ,how?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
The motor is running due to the non operation of the thermal
over load relay. The motor will keep on running till the
winding temperature increases the designed limit, finally
the motor will burn under the winding short circuit
condition causing production loss & down time .

Answer / rajesh
Ans #1 is partly correct, but probably that is not the
intended answer. Rating of a motor is decided depending on
the ambient temperature. When you say that the rated
current is 38 Amps, what you mean is it can take a
continuous current of 38 Amps at the design ambient
temperature (say 40 degree C). During winter, the ambient
temperature may be 10 deg. At that ambient, it can take a
much higher current. (You can also give extra cooling of
the motor winding by providing an external ventilation
fan).

Answer / sathiarajan
The motor is over loaded. It can work under over load for a
short time period.

Answer / sam
ya after the winding overheats it will damage the motor,
the check O/L relay setting and its functioning we had the
same problem.

Answer / hameed
maybe there is a problem in load which this motor run it &I
wender if you cheak all the phases

I have a question, I visit 01 site and face a problem, there is 2.5 ton Air Con working, when air con compressor is running at that time rectifier voltages are increasing upto 290-295 v and rectifier is giving main high alarm (rectifier is APC single phase, before starting compressor rectifier voltages was 230v. when air con is going off rectifier voltages are decreasing smoothly at its actual voltages 230v. Load on Genset phases is this: Red-13.5 amp AC (Air Con load), Yellow-1.7 amp AC (BTS lights etc.) and Blew-4 amp AC (telecom system load), Genset phase to phase and neutral to phase voltages are also ok. These are 10 sites having same system and same rectifier APC brand at every site 02 genset are working but the problem is same at all these 10 sites. What will be the reason behind???

I have a 25kVA three phase transformer on our property. Will this transformer be large enough to run a large home with swimming pool, spa, 2 off full size reverse cycle air conditioners to service a 100 square house (10,000 square feet or 930 square metres)and the general power consumption of this house without upgrading to a 63kVA transformer.
what is the difference between H.T Or HV lines...?
