a single phase 1HP motor consumes 9A at supply voltage of 123V at 60Hz at a power factor of 78% while driving a fan. Which of the following statements is true?
a) The motor is overloaded
b) The motor is not overloaded
c) The motor is operating at 50% efficiency
d) The speed of the motor is 3600 rpm
I think the answer is A. I don't think it can be C because the numbers I came out with suggest it's operating above it's 1HP capacity? I don't think it can be D because there's no mention of the # of poles so I don't even know how you would calculate the rpm...
Please let me know if I'm right or help steer me in the right direction, Thanks!
