If the current is measured at 10 amperes, what is the total resistance of the circuit? • 5 watts • 5 ohms • 10 ohms • 10 amperes Ohm's Law E = IR R = E/I I = E/R
V1 (volts) Voltage to Ground 50 I = current flow (amps) Direction current flow Voltage Source 0 V3 Ground Current flow in a wire Load Solution: R = E / I R = 50 V / 10 A = 5 ohms For this circuit. If the current is measured at 10 amperes, what is the total resistance of the circuit? • 5 watts • 5 ohms • 10 ohms • 10 amperes
Energy Management (Power and Energy Terms) Recall: Power units Watts If just resistive loads P = E x I (volts x amps) If with Power Factor P = E x I x power factor Energy units kWh (integral of power over time) Energy = P x Time (Watts x Hr) Cost = Energy X Rate (kWh x $/kWh)
Example Problems Hurd Farms has a 1,200 sow farrowing facility with 4 farrowing rooms, each room having 50 heat lamps. If they switch from 250 W heat lamps to 175 W heat lamps, how much can they expect to save in a year? (They pay on average $0.09/kWh) a) $11,800 per year b) $3,500 per year c) $350 per year d) -$210.00 per year
Solution Power 4 rm x 50 lamps/rm x (250 -175 W/lamp) = 15,000 W = 15 kW
Solution Power 4 rm x 50 lamps/rm x (250 -175 W/lamp) = 15,000 W = 15 kW Energy = Power x Time (need to assume time)
Solution Power 4 rm x 50 lamps/rm x (250 -175 W/lamp) = 15,000 W = 15 kW Energy = Power x Time (need to assume time) Assume on 30% of time 15kW x .3 x 8760 hr/yr = 39,420 kWh/yr
Solution Power 4 rm x 50 lamps/rm x (250 -175 W/lamp) = 15,000 W = 15 kW Energy = Power x Time (need to assume time) Assume on 30% of time 15kW x .3 x 8760 hr/yr = 39,420 kWh/yr Cost = Energy x Rate 39,420 kWh/yr x $0.09/kWhr = $3,547/yr
Your Problem How much should they expect to pay to run heat lamps for a year? Summary of data: 4 rooms; 50 lamps/rm; 175 W/lamp; $0.09/kwHr a) $413 b) $13,797 c) $4,139 d) $8,278
Could do a similar calculation for Energy and Cost savings for compact fluorescent for incandescent bulbs.

MOTOR NAMEPLATE INFORMATION • http://www.elongo.com/pdfs/MotorNameplate990519.pdf
MOTOR NAMEPLATE INFORMATION Design and rating standards developed by the National Electrical Manufacturer's Association (NEMA) permit the comparison of motors from different manufacturers. Information on the nameplate may include any or all of the following: VOLTS , the proper operating voltage, may be either a single value or, for dual-voltage motors, a dual value. AMPS is the full-load current draw in amperes with the proper voltage supply. When a dual number is listed, the motor will draw the smaller amperage when connected to the higher voltage source. RPM is the rotor speed when the motor runs at the full-load point on the torque-speed curve (Figure 3.12). HZ is the design operating frequency of the electrical supply. In the United States, it is 60 cycles per second. A standard frequency of 50 cycles per second is used in some counties. FR is one of the standard frame numbers used by manufacturers to insure interchangeability. For motors with power ratings below 0.75 kW (1.0 hp), common frame numbers are 42, 48, and 56. The frame number divided by 6.3 (16) gives the height in cm (inches) from the bottom of the mounting to the shaft centerline. Letters may be added to specify the type of mounting, for example, T-frame or the heavier U-frame. A replacement motor with the same frame number as the original motor will fit on the same mounting. DUTY indicates whether the motor is rated for continuous or intermittent; HOURS may be used to indicate the length of time the motor can be safely operated during intermittent duty. TEMPERATURE RISE ( � C) may be stated as the allowable temperature rise above a 40 � C (104 � F) ambient temperature while the motor is operating at full load. Often, a motor can be operated at 10% to 15% overload without damage, but the motor temperature should never exceed 55 � C (131 � F). If, while operating, a motor is not too hot to touch, it is not overheated. As an alternative to temperature rise, the allowable AMBIENT TEMPERATURE may be listed. Then the motor can be operated at full load in environments with temperatures below the stated ambient temperature.
SF , the service factor, is multiplied by the rated power to obtain the permissible loading. For example, a service factor of 1.10 means the motor could be operated at 10% overload without overheating. Service factors for farm-duty motors can be 1.35 or more. INSULATION CLASS is a temperature-resistance rating of the insulation on the wires in the motor. Typical classes are A, B, F, or H, where class A is the lowest temperature rating. Class A or B insulation is used in most farm-duty motors. The CODE LETTER is used to determine the maximum rating of the motor branch-circuit protection and is based on the locked-rotor current drawn by the motor. The following equation may be used to calculate the locked-rotor starting current from the code letter: (3.4) where amps = starting current in amperes kVA = rating from the National Electric Code (NEC) hp = rated power from nameplate, in hp volts = supply voltage in volts C ph = constant = 1.0 for single-phase motor or 1.73 for three-phase motor A DESIGN letter may be given on the nameplate as an indication of their starting-to-rated currents and starting-to-rated torques. The five classes for squirrel-cage motors are A, B, C, D, and F, with A and B being the most common. Design A has starting current 6 to 7 times rated current and starting torque 150% of rated. Design B has starting current 5.5 to 6 times rated current and starting torque 150% of rated. A THERMAL PROTECTION indication on the nameplate indicates the motor is equipped with such protection to prevent overheating the windings. Protection may be provided by sensing motor current or temperature in the windings and shutting off the motor when either becomes excessive. After shutdown, the motor must be reset manually unless it is equipped with an automatic reset.
Motor Branch Circuit Wire Sizing • Key is what ampacity to use: • Individual Motor -- use 125% of full load motor current (from nameplate or table) • Several Motors (or motors and other equipment) -- use 125% of full load current of LARGEST motor and 100% of all other loads • Example
A grain dryer has a 5 hp/ 240 V fan motor (nameplate 28 Amp) and 2 hp (nameplate 12 Amp) stirring device. What is ampacity of wire needed for branch circuit needed? Motor 28 A x 1.25 = 35 A Stirring 12 A Total = 35 A + 12 A = 47 A • Use 47 A to size wire
47 Amp, Assuming UF Cable and distance of 50 Ft, what is wire size? • 10 • 8 • 6 • 4
Special Consideration: Motor Circuits (NFEC Agr Wiring Handbook, Part IV) Overcurrent Protection Rating
MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTION (A) For motors over one hp; see NEC 430-32(a)-- Select overload devices using motor nameplate amp rating. One of the following is required: Manufacturer Selected:I. A thermal protective device integral with the motor that will prevent dangerous overheating of the motor due to overload or failure to start. You Select:2. A separate overcurrent device that will trip at 125% of full-load current for motors with a marked temperature rise not over 40°C or service factor of 1.15 or more. For all other motors, use 115%. In cases where motor size does not match the size of the protective device for the motor, use the next higher size. The rating should not exceed 140% of full-load current for motors with a temperature rise up to 40°C, or with a service factor of 1.15 or more; Use 130% for all other motors (NEC 430-34).
Example The nameplate for a 5-horsepower motor reads as follows: Volts: 240 V Cycle: 60 Phase: single Service Factor: 1.15 Code: C Amp: 24 What would you pick for Overcurrent a) 24 b) 28 c) 30 d) 35 The maximum allowable rating for motor over-load protection (amps) would be?

Agr Wiring Handbook – Rules of Tumb Assuming luminaires (light source) hangs 7 to 10 feet from floor (true for many livestock facilities) – Guideline 3 lumens of lamp output per square foot of floor area yields 1 footcandle at work level. So if we want to light a 12 ft by 20 ft farrowing room with 26W Compact Fluorescent Bulbs (1,655 lumens per bulb), how many do we need?
Light level required: ASABE Std Farrowing 50 – 100 lx Convert to fc Conversion (Recall 1 fc = 10.76 lx) 4.6 to 9.2 fc Using Rule of Tumb; 3 lumens for 1 fc/ft2 [4.6 to 9. 2 fc] x 3lumens/1 fc/ft2 (13.8 to 27.6) lu/ft2 x 12 ft x 20 ft /(1655 lu/bulb) Result - 2 to 4 bulbs
