The key design factor in a VAV system is the control of. the supplied air. The terminal unit should be sized to. take advantage of as much of its potential capacity as. possible. Without this fundamental consideration, the. customer has not received the best value for their VAV. system design.
The amperage rating on the DC motor is not the amperage the treadmill will be using from your wall outlet. Most treadmills only need 10-12 amps from the wall (or less), so a 15 amp circuit is fine, regardless of the rating on the motor. Just look at the amperage rating on the treadmill to see what your wall outlet needs to supply. #2 see #1. #3 Current is always lost in the form of heat when used to power a device. Be it in the motor, the electronics or even the line supplying the current.
What are amps, watts, volts and ohms? Electrical systems are more efficient when a higher voltage is used to reduce current. In an electrical system, increasing either the current or the voltage will result in higher power. Let's say you have a system with a 6-volt light bulb hooked up to a 6-volt battery. The power output of the light bulb is 100 watts. Using the equation I = P/V, we can calculate how much current in amps would be required to get 100 watts out of this 6-volt bulb. You know that P = 100 W, and V = 6 V. So you can rearrange the equation to solve for I and substitute in the numbers.
