Activity 1 Use Ohm s Law to solve problems 1. P = E = I = 10 R = 12 2. P = E = 480 I = 24 R = 3. P = E = 24 I = 24 R = 4. P = 4,500 E = 240 I = R = 5. P = E = 208 I = 44 R = 6. P = 15,000 E = I = 30 R = 7. P = E = 12,480 I = 60 R = 8. P = 95 E = I = R = 2.5

Activity 1 Use Ohm s Law to solve problems-answers 1. P = 1200 E =120 I = 10 R = 12 2. P = 11520 E = 480 I = 24 R = 20 3. P = 576 E = 24 I = 24 R = 1 4. P = 4,500 E = 240 I = 18.75 R = 12.8 5. P = 9152 E = 208 I = 44 R = 4.72 6. P = 15,000 E = 500 I = 30 R = 16.6 7. P = 748,8000 E = 12,480 I = 60 R = 208 8. P = 95 E = 15.41 I = 6.16 R = 2.5

Test Your Knowledge - Question 1 Using Ohm s Law, calculate the amps used by 1500 watt electric heater if the voltage is 120 Vac at the power outlet or at the power strip. 1. 0.50 amps 2. 2.00 amps 3. 2.40 amps 4. 12.5 amps

Test Your Knowledge - Question 2 What can happen if too many appliances are plugged into the same outlet on the same circuit? 1. Increased load in the circuit will increase voltage and cause the breaker to trip. 2. Increased load in the circuit will increase amperage in the circuit, and cause the breaker to trip. 3. A decrease in voltage will cause an increase in current and cause the breaker to trip. 4. Decreased load will increase the resistance and cause the breaker to trip.

Down Size the Task of Data Gathering Motor Information If you choose to collect motor information using the tools presented today, here s some advice: 1. Start with large motors and those that run long hours. 2. Add critical, replacement motors or production lines as time permits.

Hands On Exercise 15 minutes hands on activity: Calculating the operating cost of a standard efficiency and high efficiency motor in front of you or at the bench. Use reference materials to calculate the energy use and operating cost of an electric motor. Figure.10/kW/cost Figure your motor runs ½ of the year

List Things To Do to Improve your 1. Motors Operating Costs 2. 3. Put together and maintain a Motor Database Include Motor Operating Costs in decision making Commit to keeping the database up to date, easy to use and accessible Use a Repair Purchasing Specification

Summary Power and Motors Small changes to motor load, efficiency and run time make big differences in operating cost. Knowing your motor operating costs enables you to make effective repair/replace decisions when motors fail. A motor database is the key to effectively managing your motors and tracking operating costs. Free motor database tools are available.
