Question:

When winding a AC electric motor, what is the formula for amps. When number of turns & wire gauge are included?

We recieved a motor that had been wound from 3 phase to single phase. It was burnt out from mechanical damage. We copied the wind and tested. 1KW 4 pole motor drawing 14amps. we need to check the wind. Can anyone help me out with the formula

Answer:

There is no simple formula. It depends on the magnetic material, the rated current and voltage, number of poles and size of wire, shape of the magnetic circuit, and others.
