Amperage Information

To calculate Amperage Draw for AC voltages other than 120/60 Hz (see below)

(X) = Amps for 120/60 Hz shown in the catalog

Amps for 24/60 Hz = Multiply (X) by 5

Amps for 208/60 Hz = Divide (X) by 1.73

Amps for 240/60 Hz = Divide (X) by 2

Amps for 480/60 Hz = Divide (X) by 4

Amps for 575/60 Hz = Divide (X) by 5

Amperage Draw of 50 Hz compared with 60 Hz:

A coil that normally operates at 60 Hz will draw 1.2 times more amperage when operated at 50 Hz (i.e. 24/60 Hz current draw of 7.5 amps will be 9 amps at 50 Hz)

DC Amps Formula: Amps = Watts/Volts DC

AC Power Factor Formula: Power Factor = Watts/Volts X Amps
