How the motor rating for an elevator is decided?
Conservation of Energy.
Elevator is nothing but the load. So whats the point in your question?
I meant to ask "if there is a 15 storied building,then how can we decide the power
for elevator motor??"
Whatever,
As for i know,
1. Decide the maximum capacity of the elevator that should carry.
2. Then calculate what is the torque & speed required by the belt drive mechanism to move the elevator. Do some work here.
3. Then you can know the capacity (torque & speed) of the motor to run that belt drive mechanism.
You can find something useful in the following link
