Electrical Thumb Rules You MUST Follow (Part 5) : Eight Rules To F Ollow

This document summarizes various electrical thumb rules related to transformers, motors, and starters that should be followed. It provides standard sizes for transformers and motors in single and three phase configurations. It also outlines approximate motor RPMs based on horsepower, standard motor line voltages based on kW size, motor starting current factors based on phase and motor size, and types of motor starters suitable for different horsepower ranges. Finally, it lists impedance percentages for transformers based on MVA size and standard distribution transformer KVA sizes.
