Variable Torque

Affinity Laws:

• Flow is proportional to speed.

(Flow1 / Flow2) = (RPM1)/(RPM2)

• Pressure is proportional to the square of the speed.

(Press1 / Press2) = (RPM1)2 / (RPM2)2

• HP is proportional to the cube of the speed.

(HP1 / HP2) = (RPM1 )3/ (RPM2)3

VFD is sized by the

Full Load Amperage

of the motor multiplied by 1.7

eg. For a 10HP motor with a FLA of 12 amps.

The VFD size would be

12 x 1.7 = 20.4 amps
