Hello,
I'm trying to find out how much energy an induction motor pulls over a 24 hour period when connected to a resistive load. The only data I have are the specifcations of the motor, so I can estimate how much energy it will draw based on what capacity it might be running at.
Really what I need is someone with experience/knowledge on the behavior of induction motors connected to oil and gas pumpjack units. I am trying to design a power system to provide energy for the pumpjack to operate over a 24 hour period. I understand that the only way to accurately do this is to take tests on existing pumpjacks to determine the energy consumption, but for now all I can do is speculate.
Anybody have any ideas/insight on this matter?
Thanks,
Peter
