Example 3
What are the High Motor Amp setpoints if a 305 HP Vyper is
to drive a motor with 1.00 SF and a 340 Amp FLA? Using
the Values, determine whether Table A or Table B should be
used to calculate the setpoints.
SF 1.00 motors need to be derated by dividing the Nameplate
FLA by 1.15 for an Applied motor FLA. Therefore:
340 A / 1.15 = 295 A

The Line 3 value of 340 Amps is less than the Line 6 Value
of 399 Amps. Therefore, use Table A for the calculation.

is to drive a motor with 1.00 SF and a 552 A FLA? Using
the Values, determine whether Table A or Table B should be
used to calculate the setpoints.
SF 1.00 motors need to be derated by dividing the Nameplate
FLA by 1.15 for an Applied FLA. Therefore:
