Motor starting (SHUNT) Motor starting (AREP)

Locked rotor kVA at P.F. = 0.6 Locked rotor kVA at P.F. = 0.6

1) For a starting P.F. other than 0.6, the starting kVA must be multiplied by K = Sine P.F. / 0.8
2) For voltages other than 480V (Y), 277V (Δ), 240V (YY) at 60 Hz, then kVA must be multiplied by (480/U)2 or (277/U)2 or (240/U)2.
