1. What is Full Load Motor Torque?

Full load torque is the maximum torque a motor can produce when operating at its rated power and speed. It represents the motor's ability to overcome load resistance and maintain rotation under full operational conditions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the full load torque formula:

\[ \tau = \frac{P \times 9550}{RPM} \]

Where:

\( \tau \) — Full load torque (N·m)
\( P \) — Power (kW)
\( RPM \) — Rotational speed (rev/min)
9550 — Conversion constant

Explanation: The formula calculates the torque output based on the motor's power rating and rotational speed, using the appropriate conversion factor for SI units.

3. Importance of Torque Calculation

Details: Accurate torque calculation is essential for motor selection, system design, and ensuring proper operation under load conditions. It helps determine if a motor can handle the required mechanical load.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter power in kilowatts (kW) and rotational speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). Both values must be positive numbers greater than zero for accurate calculation.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is the constant 9550 used in the formula?
A: The constant 9550 is derived from unit conversion factors to convert power (kW) and speed (RPM) to torque (N·m) in the SI system.

Q2: What is the difference between full load torque and starting torque?
A: Full load torque is the torque at rated operating conditions, while starting torque is the torque produced when the motor begins to rotate from standstill.

Q3: How does motor efficiency affect torque calculation?
A: The formula calculates theoretical torque. Actual torque may vary due to motor efficiency, power factor, and other operational factors.

Q4: Can this formula be used for all types of motors?
A: This formula applies to various AC and DC motors, but specific motor characteristics may require additional considerations for precise calculations.

Q5: What are typical torque values for industrial motors?
A: Torque values vary significantly based on motor size and application, ranging from a few N·m for small motors to thousands of N·m for large industrial motors.
