Motor Selection

The shaft power (H) lines shown on each performance curve indicates the input power at the fan shaft in kW. To determine the minimum motor power required to drive the fan, this fan shaft power H has to be multiplied by a safety coefficient which accounts for power losses in belt drives and a reasonable safety margin. The recommended values for the safety coefficient are as under: Safety Coefficient = 1.20 for H upto 10 kW = 1.12 for H over 10 kW The reasonable safety margin mentioned above takes care of any small change in the operating point or fan speed, which may be due to possible minor inaccuracies in calculation of system pressure drop or a pulley ratio slightly different from the design value. For conversion to horsepower (hp), 1 hp = 0.746 kW. With motors larger than 7.5 kW (10 hp), the use of a star/delta (Y/Δ) starter is highly recommended.
