This document contains information about two motor starting voltage calculators. The first calculator is based on tables from the 1999 NEC and can calculate voltage drop for motors up to 500HP and 575V. It takes into account primary and secondary system impedance. The second calculator allows input of full motor nameplate data and can calculate voltage drop for motors up to 600V. Both calculators output the bus voltage and voltage at the motor leads when starting a motor.

Calculator allows use of a autotransformer reduced voltage starter and
provides calculations based on tap setting.
Two calculators are provided. One is based on tables 430-150 & 430-151(B) from the 1999 NEC. The tables provide current ratings for motors up to 500HP and 575 Volts. The other allows full use of motor nameplate data. Motor Voltage Drop Calculator Primary system impedance and transformer impedance is taken into account. Secondary conductor impedance is not. This program calculates voltage drop caused by the starting of motors at the substation transformer primary and secondary leads. Maximum secondary voltage handled is 600V For secondary system of 2300V or motors not conforming to NEC tables use other calculator Input Data Calculated Data 1 MVA Base pu Z's 50 Actual 0.02000 SC MVA % Volts Voltage 12,470 Volts 93.1% 11,608 2,500 kVA Z = 5.75% EDPH Transformer 0.02300 85.1% 409 Bus voltage when starting System Volts A/T Tap 100% 88.8% 409 Motor HP 0.24620 Motor Design 0.28920 Motor Voltage 460 kVA 470 FLA 590 pu LR 7.94 LRA 4682 % X"d 12.60% 24.62% Motor System Base Base Input Data Calculated Data Provided Courtesy of GE Industrial Systems Contact [email protected] if you have any comments Motor Starting Voltage Impact Calculations Based on tables in section 430 of the 1999 NEC.
