RLA (Rated Load Amps): The maximum current your unit should draw when it’s already started. FLA (Full Load Amps): A pre-1976 term, which was replaced by RLA, but still used by some standards.Roughly speaking, the RLA would be your running amps, and the LRA your starting amps. In ...
Once this assessment has been done and sheaves are changed or other modifications are done to help mitigate the speed/power issues, move on to the next step. Read the nameplate to get the Full Load Amperage commonly known as the FLA rating for the motor at the voltage you'll be running ...
(Power Supply Note: One of my colleagues who tested a Jetson Nano board with a bench power supply delivering exactly 5 volts DC (with plenty of amps) via the barrel power supply port found that the board would sometimes brown out under load until he increased the voltage to 5.2V, at whi...
