Motor Selection

Motor Selection of Pump

Ph = q g h / 3600

(1)

where
Ph = power (kW)
q = flow capacity (m3/h)
= density of fluid (kg/m3)
g = gravity (9.81 m/s2)
h = differential head (m)
or
Ph = q h /367
Where ( g / 3600 = 1/367 )

Shaft Pump Power

The shaft power - the power required transferred from the motor to the shaft of the pump depends on the efficiency of the pump and can be calculated as
Ps = Ph /

(2)

where
Ps = shaft power (kW)
= pump efficiency

Motor rated Power

Then motor power = Ps / motor eff.

Service Factor
The service factor - SF - is a measure of periodically overload capacity at which a motor can operate
without overload or damage.
