And so I listened personally on 14 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:42,480 Spotify, but also I listen to things on my phone through my through our 15 00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:48,280 mobile app and also Spotify and I stream them to my Alexa devices. So 16 00:01:48,319 --> 00:01:53,280 it's one of the great things about our podcast It is also available on our 17 00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:57,760 free mobile app. Now, there's calculators on there, there's other resources. 18 00:01:57,879 --> 00:02:00,560 There's chats that you can ask questions and post pictures. If you're in the 19 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,959 field and you had a question about something, members will chime in. There's 20 00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:09,719 so many things there. You can read our blogs there and bunch of different 21 00:02:09,719 --> 00:02:14,159 stuff on our app. But one of the most important aspects of the app 22 00:02:14,199 --> 00:02:17,759 is it gives you instant access to our podcast and so that's pretty cool too, 23 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,360 all right, So make sure you get our mobile app. It's free. 24 00:02:21,439 --> 00:02:23,680 You just go over to our website. No, you can't get it 25 00:02:23,759 --> 00:02:28,439 on the Google Store and you can't get on the Apple Store. It's only 26 00:02:28,719 --> 00:02:34,159 available because it's not something that downloads into your computer or your phone. It 27 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,960 is basically it downloads a link to a web based mobile app, and that 28 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,000 allows us to update it and add things all the time to keep you informed, 29 00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:46,599 and we're always keeping it fresh adding new stuff. So again, when 30 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:52,159 you go click on the link on the website fastracksystem dot com or you go 31 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:57,240 to ny c C chat dot com. Either way, if you go to 32 00:02:57,319 --> 00:02:59,960 our page where the mobile app is, just click on the link and app 33 00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:04,439 do you want to save it to your main page. Absolutely, you do, 34 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,479 and then you can move it around if you want after that, but 35 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,879 definitely save it and give us approval because we also now and then send notifications, 36 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,599 code changes, state amendments, things like that as we get them. 37 00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:21,680 We like to share them. Okay. Anyway, enough of that, make 38 00:03:21,719 --> 00:03:23,960 sure you get the mobile app. It's free, doesn't cost you a dime. 39 00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:29,800 Okay, And even if you're a hater, well even if you're a 40 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,159 hater of Paul, you ought to still take advantage of the free resource. 41 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,400 Dude. It doesn't have to make you feel bad because you got something that 42 00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:43,240 I create. It's okay, it's okay, I love you anyway. Okay. 43 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,840 So part of this ongoing series that we've had that was based on a 44 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,719 question that came in through the Let's Ask Paul that asked me to do all 45 00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:58,599 these things series parallels Olms law combination, and I just couldn't do them all 46 00:03:58,599 --> 00:04:00,599 in one, so I decided to break these up. So it's starting it 47 00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:05,000 like episode one seventy one, and it goes through one seventy one, one 48 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,719 seventy two, one seventy three, one seventy four, So there's quite a 49 00:04:08,759 --> 00:04:12,319 few of those episodes. Hopefully they'll be titled right so it's not confusing, 50 00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:16,680 but make sure you listen to them because I go over series and parallels, 51 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:23,519 I go over ohms law, I go over combination series and parallels and kind 52 00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:27,560 of try to paint you a mental picture because again it's podcasts are difficult, 53 00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:32,160 and but that's one of the reasons why I love podcasting is because it forces 54 00:04:32,199 --> 00:04:35,240 me to And some people don't understand this. They say, Paul, just 55 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,720 get to the point. You're long winded, dude. What I'm trying to 56 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,439 do is convey a mental picture, and it's just a method that I use. 57 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,720 So my podcasts and my videos are not for everybody. If I if 58 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,839 I've already, if you've watched my stuff for five minutes or two minutes and 59 00:04:49,879 --> 00:04:53,879 you're like, dude, this guy just rambles on, then you might as 60 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,160 well just not follow me, click off of me, go to somebody else, 61 00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:00,399 because that's my teaching, is approach, and I'm not changing for anybody. 62 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,920 I've been doing this for thirty four years, so you love it or 63 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,920 hate it, it is what it is. So you can decide whether you 64 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,160 want to follow them here or not. That's up to you. I don't 65 00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:14,560 care one way or the other. Okay, So let's look at some things 66 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,480 here. So I have some question. This episode today is not going to 67 00:05:18,519 --> 00:05:23,959 be a real long one. This one is focusing on how to find the 68 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:29,800 horsepower. So if you're given a certain variable when it comes to single phase 69 00:05:29,879 --> 00:05:33,720 or even three phase, and you need to find out what the horsepower is 70 00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:38,519 if you don't happen to know, now, if you're on an exam, 71 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,160 they're going to be giving you and a certain kind of a question. And 72 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,000 there's certain things you need to know to find the horsepower. Right. I 73 00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:50,040 need to know what the voltage is. I need to know what the efficiency 74 00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:54,399 is of the motor. I need to know what the power factor is of 75 00:05:54,439 --> 00:05:58,360 the motor. All these things I have to have in order to be able 76 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,720 to calculate the horsepower. Right. So that's one of those things that we 77 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:11,079 have to remember that wattage wise, one horsepower is seven hundred and forty six 78 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:17,079 watts. So when we're trying to think about what happens with the efficiency scenario, 79 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,079 then we have to make sure that we follow these formulas. Now, 80 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,560 I'm not expecting you to remember these formulas. But it is something that you 81 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,519 can pause and jot down in your codebook if you're preparing for an exam. 82 00:06:28,959 --> 00:06:30,639 If they let you write in your codebook, write them in there. If 83 00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:33,800 they do not, and I can't tell you that your state does, don't 84 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:39,279 ask me. Go to the whatever the testing agency is for your state. 85 00:06:39,319 --> 00:06:42,680 If it's PSI, they'll have a bulletin that'll tell you what you can and 86 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,040 can't do in your codebook. If it's ICC, they'll have a guide to 87 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,480 tell you what you can and what you can't do. That's not my responsibility, 88 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,360 that's your responsibility. Okay, so let's just make sure we're all square 89 00:06:53,399 --> 00:06:57,439 on that. All right, Let's get into the first one that we might 90 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,720 encounter. And then this is the first time that I'm going to talk about 91 00:07:01,959 --> 00:07:08,720 DC current direct current, because typically on an exam, the only time that 92 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,120 I really ever see them talk about DC current is when they're trying to find 93 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,560 the horsepower of a motor. So that's why in previous episodes I really didn't 94 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:24,680 get into direct current. But here I am, and it's not a more 95 00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:30,160 overly confusing calculation. The only real difference here is that there's really, typically, 96 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,560 uh, there's no power factor involved. There's the amperage, there's efficiency, 97 00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:41,199 there's the voltage, YadA, YadA, but there's really no efficiency, 98 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,920 I mean, excuse me, there is no power factor involved in that. 99 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,879 Okay. So that's really the key difference. Okay, So let's look at 100 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,560 a first equation. So the formula that you're going to use to determine power 101 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:57,879 factor for a direct current is again remember we're going to talk about it in 102 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,319 terms of numerator and denominator, So kind of like a one quarter or one 103 00:08:01,399 --> 00:08:05,279 over four. The top is a numerator, the bottom is the denominator. 104 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,079 That way I can kind of pint that mental picture for you about the formula. 105 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,120 So the numerator portion here of this formula, the top part would be 106 00:08:16,279 --> 00:08:24,279 volts times amps times efficiency divided by the denominator version, which is seven forty 107 00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:28,160 six, which is rounded up. That's what the wattage is for a one 108 00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:33,440 horsepower motor. Okay. So that's your baseline. So if I gave you 109 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,679 a question and I'm trying to determine what the horse power is, and I 110 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,279 gave you the question, then I would say, okay, I have a 111 00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:46,679 twelve volt motor. It draws a current of eight point zero nine ampiers and 112 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:52,600 it has an efficiency rating of ninety six percent, so pretty damn efficient, 113 00:08:52,919 --> 00:09:00,879 okay. And again this being probably so because it's DC. It says, 114 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:07,240 determine the horsepower. Okay. So if you think of that that formula the 115 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,759 numerator volts times amps times efficiency divided by seven forty six, then we can 116 00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:15,360 just plug in the numbers. So I got a calculator here, so it's 117 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:20,279 E, which is eve of the voltage is twelve times I which is the 118 00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:24,879 amps and current okay, which is in this case is eight point zero nine, 119 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:31,559 so twelve times eight point zero nine. So we're gonna have twelve times 120 00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:37,879 eight point zero nine. And then the efficiency was ninety six. And as 121 00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:43,240 you've heard me in other podcasts, always take that percentage and work it down 122 00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:46,360 to a decimal. So start at the right of the six and move two 123 00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:50,039 spaces to the left. That makes it point ninety six, so times point 124 00:09:50,159 --> 00:09:56,879 nine six. Okay. So again, so you all follow along, it's 125 00:09:56,919 --> 00:10:03,960 twelve times eight point zero nine times point nine six, and that comes to 126 00:10:03,159 --> 00:10:11,120 ninety three point one nine. Okay. Now at that point you're you got 127 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,840 the denominator at the bottom, which is the seven forty six numerator at the 128 00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:20,480 top. So I'm just gonna take that ninety three point one nine ninety three 129 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,559 point one nine, and I'm going to divide that in seven forty six, 130 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:31,759 and that's gonna give me a point one two four nine, okay, which 131 00:10:31,919 --> 00:10:37,399 equates to one eighth of a horse power. And if you see that one 132 00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:39,519 two four nine, it kind of equates to that because if I were to 133 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:45,240 take that one and divide it into eight, it's one point two five, 134 00:10:45,799 --> 00:10:52,320 right, So that point one two four nine is again the nine at the 135 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,320 end. If you're rounding it down rounding it up, that equates to one 136 00:10:56,399 --> 00:11:03,120 point two five. So that is one eighth of a horse power, okay. 137 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,159 Or basically, you could take the one horse power one point zero divided 138 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,159 by point one two four nine and it gives you eight, and that's how 139 00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:13,039 you know it's one eighth horse power. Okay. So anyway, one eighth 140 00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:16,159 horse power based on now, so that's the DC version, okay. So 141 00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:22,279 now let's move into single phase. So now single phase, the only thing 142 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:28,519 that changes here, okay, is that you're throwing in a power factor. 143 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:33,679 So if we have the same type of equation here we're gonna change the values 144 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,440 a little bit here. So we have a single phase one hundred and fifteen 145 00:11:37,519 --> 00:11:41,120 volt ac motor with an efficiency rating of ninety two percent. Of course you 146 00:11:41,159 --> 00:11:45,279 all know that I'm gonna convert that to point ninety two just right off the 147 00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:48,480 bat, and a power factor of eighty percent. Also, I'm gonna convert 148 00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:52,440 that start the right of the zero, move two space to the left point 149 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,480 eight zero, converting that into decimals. So you always want to work in 150 00:11:54,519 --> 00:11:58,559 decimals, okay. So then it says, determine the horse power if the 151 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,759 amp load is four point four amps. So we're given the amps, we're 152 00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:07,919 given the efficiency, we're given the power factor, and we're given the voltage. 153 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,879 Dude, this is easy pasy, right, So we simply work this 154 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,960 equation. So what's the equation horsepower equals E. That's the vaults times I, 155 00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:24,879 which is the amps times efficiency times PF the power factor divided by what 156 00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:30,399 seven forty six, which is the rounded up watts for one horse power. 157 00:12:30,519 --> 00:12:33,320 Okay, so let's work the math, so it'd be one fifteen. Again, 158 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,960 always use what they give you in the equation. Do not say, 159 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,720 well, in the circuit one twenty. Don't we use one twenty, No, 160 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,000 you use what they give you, okay. And also, by the 161 00:12:43,039 --> 00:12:46,799 way, if you go look at the tables in four thirty, two eight, 162 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,720 two forty nine, all that, you're going to notice that the motors 163 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,120 are in one fifteen, two thirty things like that. Okay, So just 164 00:12:54,320 --> 00:13:00,440 use what they give you. Don't make this overly complicated, So just do 165 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,840 one fifteen. We're gonna work the numerator part, the top part first, 166 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:11,639 so it's gonna be one fifteen times four point four because that was the current 167 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:18,679 times point ninety two, which was the efficiency rating, times point eight zero, 168 00:13:18,759 --> 00:13:22,080 which was the power factor, and that's gonna give me three hundred and 169 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:28,720 seventy two point four one six. And since we already have that in our 170 00:13:28,759 --> 00:13:35,399 calculator now, we're just going to divide that by the seven forty six and 171 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:41,080 that gives us zero point four two. Okay. So when you look at 172 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,080 how this is rounding, you know that half of a horse power would be 173 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:50,080 point five, right, so this is point four nine nine two. Then 174 00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:52,440 what we would do that this would you know, you know that this is 175 00:13:52,440 --> 00:14:01,519 going to be a half horse power motor. Okay, makes sense. So 176 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:09,759 it's a half horsepower motor based on the power factor based on the efficiency rating, 177 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,120 which is, by the way, typically how we come up with the 178 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,919 name plate values. Okay, when it comes to trying to find out what 179 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,039 the currents and all are, and we did that previously in another episode, 180 00:14:22,559 --> 00:14:26,639 Hey, how to find the amps? We did all that just so you 181 00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:31,440 know. Okay, So but here we're searching for the horsepower and in this 182 00:14:31,519 --> 00:14:35,919 case it was a half horsepower. Next, let's do this with three phase. 183 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,159 And again not to get people really like, oh god, here we 184 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,679 go three phase, folks, it's exactly the same. The only difference is 185 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,960 because it's three phase, we got to equate the square root of three. 186 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,399 Now, you can use one point seven three to two or you can use 187 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,200 one point seven three. They're both going to be close enough. It's not 188 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:01,200 going to make a difference in your equation. So if you want to keep 189 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,080 it simple, then you can do one point seventy three. But that's totally 190 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,000 up to you. Now I will tell you that because the Uglies book likes 191 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,080 to use one point seventy three and not the one point seventy three to two. 192 00:15:11,399 --> 00:15:16,039 Okay, So either way, it's going to get you to the same 193 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,360 result. Okay, So we'll just use the full amount this time. Make 194 00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:22,720 people happy, all right, So what is this equation? So now we 195 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:28,919 have a three phase load motor and we need to find the horsepower. So 196 00:15:30,039 --> 00:15:33,799 it's four hundred and sixty volt motor, okay, and it draws a current 197 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:39,360 of fifty two amp years okay. Is the motor has an efficiency rating of 198 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,600 ninety four percent. Eh, it's pretty low, but okay, and has 199 00:15:43,639 --> 00:15:48,360 a power factor of eighty percent. What is the horsepower? Okay? This 200 00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:50,720 is the kind of questions that you will be given on an exam if they 201 00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:56,120 want you to tell you what the horsepower is. Again from don't confuse this 202 00:15:56,279 --> 00:15:58,759 for sizing motors and things that you're going to use the FLC and everything in 203 00:15:58,799 --> 00:16:03,240 four. This is only for like a general knowledge type question where it's trying 204 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,720 to ask you what the horsepower is? Okay, So what are all the 205 00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:11,480 givens here? So the formula that you're gonna use is exactly the same as 206 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,960 we did with the single phase. The only difference is we're going to add 207 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,879 on the one point seventy three to two at the end, so it'd be 208 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,720 E, which is a voltage times I, which is the amphior times efficiency. 209 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,759 In this case, the efficiency was ninety four percent, so again it's 210 00:16:26,799 --> 00:16:30,360 point ninety four. Uh, the power factor was eighty percent. You remember, 211 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,120 we're gonna convert that the decimal, So it's point eight zero. That's 212 00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:37,960 the power factor multiplied by one point seventy three to two. And then we're 213 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,600 gonna take that, which is the numerator, that's the top summation, and 214 00:16:41,639 --> 00:16:47,559 we're going to divide that by the denominator, which again is seven four six, 215 00:16:47,639 --> 00:16:51,559 which the rounded version of the wattage for one horse power motor. Okay. 216 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,360 Remember seven forty six watts is the rounded up value for a one horse 217 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:03,480 power motor. Okay, So let's do that for sixty times fifty two, 218 00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:08,160 which is the AMPS times point ninety four, which is the the efficiency of 219 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:15,240 the motor times point eight zero, which is the power factor times one point 220 00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:22,200 seven three two. That gives me three thirty and fifty four point nine to 221 00:17:22,279 --> 00:17:27,359 three. And then I'm going to divide that by seven forty six, and 222 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:32,799 that gives me forty one point seven six ampiers. I mean, excuse me, 223 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:37,440 forty one point seven six horse power, So forty one point seven horsepower. 224 00:17:37,599 --> 00:17:41,160 Okay, we're not rounding. This is not an AMPS, this is 225 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,279 horsepower, so we're not rounding. So we can drop the six and just 226 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,920 keep it at forty one point seven horsepower. So this is probably no motor 227 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,240 is going to be a horse power forty one point seven. But the reason 228 00:17:52,279 --> 00:17:53,839 you do this in the real world as you might go, okay, well, 229 00:17:55,079 --> 00:17:59,240 then I need a fifty horse power motor whatever the next standard sized horse 230 00:17:59,319 --> 00:18:03,279 power motor is. That's what you would get. Okay, But on an 231 00:18:03,319 --> 00:18:07,279 exam, if they're asking you what the horsepower is, this is how you 232 00:18:07,319 --> 00:18:11,240 would calculate it out to find out what the exact horsepower is. And then 233 00:18:11,279 --> 00:18:15,200 typically you're going to go to you know, in the real world, you're 234 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,079 going to say, okay, well and this is the case, and that's 235 00:18:19,079 --> 00:18:25,240 what my horsepower is. But maybe I need a fifty horsepower motor. Okay, 236 00:18:25,279 --> 00:18:29,119 well you go to fifty horsepower. But then when you're sizing circuits and 237 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,400 you're sizing everything else, that's when you're going to say, screw this, 238 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,720 this is just for an exercise. Now you're going to go what in the 239 00:18:37,759 --> 00:18:41,359 real world, You're going to start using the FLC and that's how you're going 240 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,279 to size the branch circuit to motors and all those type of things. Okay, 241 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,400 So don't get it confused. This is simply to answer a question for 242 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,359 an exam. That's it. So in this question four, in a sixty 243 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,599 volt motor that pulls fifty two amps, that has an efficiency of ninety four 244 00:18:55,599 --> 00:19:00,839 percent and the power factor of eighty using the formula, the horsepower for the 245 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:07,359 question on the exam is forty one point seven horsepower. That's it. Don't 246 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:14,160 overthink it, Okay, all right. Remember these are like questions you would 247 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,799 get on an exam, but in the real world sizing the circuits, they're 248 00:19:17,839 --> 00:19:22,640 probably gonna just already have selected a motor that it's horsepower. You're gonna just 249 00:19:22,759 --> 00:19:25,559 use that. You're gonna go the FLC. You're gonna size everything in four 250 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,799 thirty like you normally would. The only reason we did this exercise today is 251 00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:36,720 to show you how to calculate horsepower if they ask you a specific knowledge question 252 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:41,400 on an exam and they want you to be able to answer a question that 253 00:19:41,519 --> 00:19:45,920 type of scenario, because in the real world, they're probably already going to 254 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,880 tell you the horsepower the motor to be used. They're already gonna do that, 255 00:19:49,319 --> 00:19:53,359 okay, so don't get confused. All right, folks, I told 256 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,920 you not a long one. It's not a little bit shorter than the other 257 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,240 ones. But this is how to find the horsepower, whether it's DC single 258 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,559 phase or three phase. If you get a question on an exam, that's 259 00:20:03,559 --> 00:20:10,519 simply trying to find out what the horsepower is for this specific motor based on 260 00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:12,880 the information that is given. Okay, all right, folks, hopeing you 261 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,920 got something out of that, and thanks for listening to this whole entire series. 262 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:18,519 If you have any other that you'd like us to do, just do 263 00:20:18,599 --> 00:20:22,160 me a favorite.
