That's sort of vague. Have you tried reading it?

I am sure in a place where you work there is no electrical engineer.

Dear Guest,

Your question is very vague. Since you have given the pf as 0.8 we can deduce the following things.

If it connected to 415 V 3 phase loads ( in service) and working with no problems I assume It is 415 V / 695 A / 0.8 pf. If the prime mover speed is known one can

deduce the number of poles as 4 or 6 ( 1500 or 1000 rpm) and the frequency.

Insulation will be class F(minimum) or H ( usual practice)

Thanks,

Manroop.Chennai.
