Also known as: fla.
FLA has various meanings in the Circuit category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of FLA in Circuit.
Full load amperes is the nameplate amperage rating of the motor when it is running at its designed horsepower and on the motors designed voltage. 746 watts = 1 HP. The FLA of a 1 HP motor at 240 volts would be W = amps x volts, Amps = Watts/Voltage. 746/240 = 3.1 amps full load. Overload the motor and the amps go higher, motor running at no load amps are lower than FLA.
