Motor efficiency calculator

Efficiency compares mechanical output with electric real input.

η=PshaftPinput\eta = \frac{P_{\text{shaft}}}{P_{\text{input}}}

Worked example

Given

  • PshaftP_{\text{shaft}} = 37.3 kW
  • PinputP_{\text{input}} = 40.5 kW
η=37.340.5≈0.921\eta = \frac{37.3}{40.5} \approx 0.921
