Determining Load Characteristics (continued)
5. If reduced voltage motor starting is used, determine
SkVA as in Steps 1, 2, 3, or 4 on previous page, and
then multiply the value by the appropriate multiplying
factor in Table 5. Use the following formula:
Calculate SkW as follows:
1. If SPF (Starting Power Factor) is unknown, refer to Table
4 on page 22 and use the value corresponding to the
motor horsepower.
If a resistor-type reduced voltage
motor starting is used, use the value for SPF
in Table 6
below.
2. Multiply SkW by 0.5 for motors with low inertia loads
(i.e., centrifugal fans, compressors and pumps) where
starting torque requirements are low.
