Guy's I have a somewhat off topic question for ya.
We build machines that have as many as 20 motors on them, All the motors are started through a sequence routine in the PLC. Starting 2 seconds apart.
For a Givin Machine how should I figure the Full Load Amps Required by the machine? This has always been done by basically adding up all of the motors, controls etc. And always multiplying the largest motor by 1.25
However knowing that there is no way the FLA will ever reach anything near that number, Due to the starting routine. Should I calculate this differently ?? THANKS For any input !
