An electric motor with a power of 360 kW operates at a voltage of 720 V. Find the value of the consumed current.

Given:

W = 360 kW – electric motor power;

U = 720 Volts – the operating voltage of the electric motor.

It is required to determine I (Ampere) – the amount of current consumed.

Let’s convert the units of measurement of power from kilowatts to watts:

W = 360 kW = 360 * 1000 = 360,000 watts.

Then, the value of the consumed current will be equal to:

I = W / U = 360000/720 = 500 Amperes.

Answer: the amount of current consumed by the electric motor is 500 Amperes.
