What do full load and no load mean for motors?

[eric336]

What is the meaning of full load and no load, in the context of motor? Does the load here mean mechanical load?

 

[russ_watters]

Yes.

 

[eric336]

In that sense, is it that no-load current means the current in motor when the mechanical load is absent?

 

[dummie]

yes, it means that there is no load attached to the motor shaft

 

[aks786]

and full load means full rated load

 

[dummie]

i think so , the load which causes the armature to draw full rated current
