Question

Calculate the amount Electrical energy consumed by Electrical motor rated 1.5hp if operated for 7 hours?​

Answer 1

Answer:

2.82 x 10⁷J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Power rating of the motor = 1.5hp

Time taken  = 7hrs

Unknown:

Amount of electrical energy consumed  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to convert first to standard unit.

              1 hp  =  746 Watts

               1.5hp  =   746 x 1.5  = 1119Watts

Also;

        7hrs to Seconds;

            1 hr  = 3600s

            7hr = 7 x 3600 = 25200s

So;

  Electrical energy = Power x time  = 1119 x 25200 = 2.82 x 10⁷J
