Full load amps is the maximum rated amps that the motor should draw according to its nameplate rating. Running load amps is the actual amperage the motor is drawing at that point in time when the test is taken. Some motor loads vary depending on if the load is cyclic. The reading on this type of motor would be from no load amps to full load amps.
The current draw in amps mulitiplied by the voltage.
Voltage and Amperage are not directly dependent upon each other. Electricity is like water in the way that it "flows". Voltage is analagous to water pressure (like PSI), whereas amperage is analagous to the amount of water actually flowing (like gallons-per-minute). As voltage increases, amperage typically decreases and vice versa. But the actual amperage of a 110 V circuit depends on the device connected to it and how much current it draws. For instance, a 12 amp vaccuum cleaner is gonna draw 12 amps out of a 110 V circuit, whereas a 60 watt light bulb connected to the same circuit is gonna draw about half an amp (amperage=wattage/voltage, or amperage=60/110).
In theory one horse power equals 746 watts. They are both basic measures of power. A 1 HP motor however draws more than 746 watts because to give a mechanical output of 1 HP/746 watts at the shaft, the motor has to draw more than 746 watts of electric power to cover losses in caused by resistance in the windings and the iron core of the motor, and friction in the bearings. A typical efficiency for a motor would be 90% so that the electric power used would be 829 watts. <<>> For clarification in all electrical calculations regarding horsepower, 746 watts per horsepower is used.
Depending on your application... Use a voltage dividor (two resistors) if it doesn't draw a lot of current. You could also try a voltage regulator or using an op amp as a buffer, with the input the voltage you want. That voltage could come from a voltage divider, since op amps draw extremely low current.
A single phase 10 HP motor will draw aproximately 50 amps. A three phase 10 HP motor will draw aproximately 28 amps.
A 1-HP motor is reckoned to draw 7 amps at 240 v single-phase. The same power of motor would draw 3.5 amps at 480 v single-phase, but a 480 v supply could most likely be a three-phase suppy, and the current in that case would be reckoned as 2 amps.
read the name plate on the motor
Possibly, most 230 volt saws draw about 16-18 amps on each line. There will be a spec plate on or by the motor which has the amp draw marked. CHECK this first.
The wiring should allow for 115 amps.
The line current would be the same if the motor were connected in delta. The current can be based on the rule of thumb which says 7 amps must be allowed for a 1-HP single-phase motor on 240 v. A 2.2 kW motor is three times as powerful, and on a three-phase supply of the same voltage (240/415) it would draw 7 amps.
8,33 Amps
Then you are trying to get more HP out of the motor that it can supply. Back off on the load that the motor is driving or put a bigger motor onto the load.
The electrical code states that a 30 HP induction motor at 460 volts three phase will draw 40 amps. <<>> I = 33.34 AMPS IF EFF.= 95% AND P.F.= 85%

Depends on how big the motor is. A stronger motor will draw more amps then a weaker or less efficient motor. For example a wiper motor draws far less then a starter motor.
This depends on what voltage the range is rated for and if it is single phase or three phase. At 220 volts single phase it is about 60 amps, 240 v single phase , 53 amps and at 480 v three phase about 15 amps.
