A 25-HP, continuous-duty, three-phase squirrel-cage induction motor is connected to a 240-volt line. The conductors are run in conduit to the motor. The motor does not have a NEMA design code listed on the nameplate. The termination temperature rating of the devices is not known. Copper conductors with THWN insulation are to be used for the motor connection. What size conductors should be used?

a 500-up synchronous motor is connected to 2300 volts. The motor is to operate at 90% power factor. What running current would be used to compute the conductor size and fuse size.
match column a to b. Electricity flows from the power plant Through wires to the step-up transformer. The transformer raises the voltage so it can travel long distances - it is raised as high as 756,000 volts. Electricity is generated in the power plant by hydroelectric, nuclear, wind or geothermal energy. The electric current then runs through the power lines to the substation transformer where voltage is lowered to between 2000 and 13000 volts. The turbine spins a huge magnet inside a copper wire. Heat energy converts to mechanical energy which then converts to electrical energy in the generator. From there, electricity comes into your home through a service box, where your heter IS located to electrical consumption. measure your Wires Taice electricity around your home, powering your lights and all your other electrical appliances. Electricity is then taken through the lines to a pole transformer or transformer box if underground then the voltage is lowered again to 120 or 220…
