AC motors current Rating Chart

Induction motors are part of every industry and Household. There are motors available from fraction of KW to 375 KW motors. Induction motors are also available with higher ratings but those are HT motors. AC Motors current rating chart for induction motors is as given below:- KW Rating Horse power rating Three Phase (415V Supply) Single Phase 220V Supply 0.1 1/8 0.4 1.6 0.12 1/6 0.5 1.9 0.18 1/4 0.7 2.3 0.25 1/3 0.9 2.9 0.37 1/2 1.3 3.9 0.56 3/4 1.6 5.5 0.75 1 1.8 7.3 1.1 1.5 2.6 10 1.5 2 3.4 13 2.2 3 5 19 3 4 6.5 24 3.7 5 8 27 4 5.5 8 30 5.5 7.5 11 41 7.5 10 15 55 9.3 12.5 18 10 13.5 20 11 15 22 15 20 28 18 25 36 22 30 39 30 40 52 37 50 69 45 60 79 55 75 96 75 100 125 90 125 156 110 150 189 130 175 224 15...
