LIFT/ELEVATOR LOAD CALCULATIONS

Sl. NO. PARAMETER FORMULA

Rated No of Passengers in the

1 lift car (P) =

2 Mass of a Passenger (m) =

3 Rated Load of the Lift = = 8

4 Rated top speed of the lift (s) =

5 Counter weight Factor (CF) =

6 Acceleration due to gravity (g) =

Efficiency of Motor shaft ,

7 gearbox and others (ɳ) =

P * m * g *s * (1-CF) = 8 * 68.00
8 Lift Motor Size (M) =
ɳ = 0.85

Power requirement of
9 Automatic Rescue Device for = = Say 5
battery charging

Other Misc Load Requirement =

10 of lift lighting and fan etc =

TOTAL POWER REQUIREMENT

11 OF LIFT = = 3.77 +
MULA VALUE UNIT REMARKS

= 8

= 68.00 Kg As per IS 14665

* 68.00 = 544.00 Kg

= 1.0 m/sec

= 40 % Quite common it is
considered as 40%

= 9.81 m/sec2

Combined efficiency of
= 85.00 % the installation
* 9.81 * 1.0 * 0.60
= 3767.04 W
0.85
= 3.77 KW

of Lift motor
% size = 0.19 KW

= 0.50 KW Approx

0.19 + 0.50 = 4.46 KW

= 5.97 HP
Say 6.00 HP
Consider 3 min requirement of ARD & charging of batteries in 1 hour.
So Power requirement will be (3/60)/1 = 5% of motor power
