Motor Specifications

Blower motor information
must be specified to select
unit. The horsepower,
voltage, phase and enclosure
availability is presented
in the table on the right. If
exhaust and supply blower
horsepower are different,
consult the CAPS program.

supply motor, 1 ⁄ hp exhaust motor, 15kW

preheater operating at 460 volt, three phase.
Step 1: Consult NEC table (not shown) for 2 hp
supply motor amps = 3.4 A
Step 2: Consult NEC table (not shown) for 1
exhaust motor amps = 2.6 A
Step 3: Calculate 15kW preheater amp draw =
[
15,000W/ 460 * 3
If no preheater is used skip step 3
Step 4: Wheel drive amps for ERV-361 from
table above = 0.6 A
Step 5: 24v Control Amps for ERV-361 from
table above = 1.0 A
Step 6: MCA = Amperage total from steps
1 thru 5 x 1.25
MCA = (3.4 + 2.6 + 18.8 + 0.6 + 1.0)
1.25 = 33 A
Note: Calculations are approximate, use our Computer Aided Product Selection (CAPS) program for exact
MCA calculations.
