Constant-Horsepower Connection

If the motor is designed to be constant horsepower (Fig. 5.52c), the lowspeed constant-torque connection will cause it to draw very high amperes. If amperes are high, test the motor (with limited power) using the constanthorsepower connections. If the motor connection has been positively identified and has very little power, it is connected (or redesigned) […]
