(5) Appliances without any indication as to power consumption
Some appliances have no indication as to power consumption; but instead the work load (output) is
indicated. In such a case, power consumption is to be worked out according to the numerical formula
mentioned below.
(Output of electrical appliance) = (Power consumption)
(Efficiency)
Efficiencies of some electrical appliances are as follows:
Single-phase motor . * * . . . . a . . . - . . * . .
0.6 - 0.75
The smaller the motor, the
Three-phase motor
. . - . . . . . . - - - * - . .
0.65 - 0.9

Fluorescent lamp - - - * . . . . * . . . - a e . . . .
0.7 - 0.8
Example 1:
A 40W fluorescent lamp means that its luminous output is 40W. Its efficiency is 0.7 and
accordingly, power consumption will be 40 i 0.7= 57W. As explained in
item(2),
multiply
this power consumption value of 57W by 1.2 - 2 and you will get the figure of the necessary
capacity of a generator. In other words, a generator with a rated output of 1000Wcapacity
can light nine to fourteen 40W fluorescent lamps.
Example
2: Generally speaking, a 400W motor means that its work load is 400W. Efficiency of this
motor is 0.7 and power consumption will be 400 t 0.7= 57OW. When this motor is used for
a motor-driven tool, the capacity of the generator should be multipled by 1.2 to 3 and 570W
as explained in the
Item(3).
