Electrical equipment is manufactured to operate most efficiently when the line voltage is equal to or
nearly equal to the nameplate rating of the equipment. A motor operated at a voltage substantially

possible burn-out. The same motor operated at a voltage substantially over its nameplate rating is
subject to excessive heat rise, often extending beyond the insulation temperature limits, which may

Line voltage:
This can be determined by measuring the supply line voltage with a voltmeter.
Load voltage:
The voltage at which your equipment was designed to operate. Usually listed on the equipment
nameplate.
Load KVA or load amps:
One of these will usually be listed on the nameplate. You do not need both.
Supply line and equipment frequencies:
This will be either 50 or 60 cycles. The supply line frequency must be the same as the frequency of
the equipment to be operated.
Supply line and equipment phase:
Either single-phase or three-phase. The line phase must be the same as the equipment.
The type of electrical configuration:
Delta or Wye.
