I was documenting a paper about Ohm's Law and Voltage and Amperage's when I came across my Copeland compressor book and noticed that when you divided Ohm's into Voltage it did not equal Amperage for any of their motors. Any electrical engineers out there to tell me why it does not fit into the Ohm's Laws for their amperage statistics? :confused:

N = U x I x 1.7 x cos Phi

Motors have Henrys in them that restrict the current flow.

Ac induction has many energy losses that is where the power factor rectifes calculations. Only Direct Current is true to Ohms law.
I could expand but the good lady is calling
