Introduction
1.1.1. System Power Requirements
The following equations can be used to determine total system power requirements. The actual power
required from the mains supply will be the combination of actual motor power (work), motor resistance
losses, and efficiency losses in the power electronics or power transformer. An EfficiencyFactor of
approximately 50% should be used in the following equations.
Linear Motor
Pdiss[W] = MotorCurrentPeak[A] * TotalBusVoltage[V] * 3 / 2
Pin = SUM ( Pdiss ) / EfficiencyFactor
