1 HP = 745.70 watts
Power (watts) = Current (amps) x Volts
So if you use a 110 volt system, amps = 745.7/110 = 6.779 amps
If you use a 220 volt system, amps = 745.7/220 = 3.389 amps
For a 12 volt system, amps = 745.7/12 = 62.142 amps

Is a pool pump motor drawing half the amps listed on its nameplate a problem with the windings?
A pool pump motor which is drawing half the amps listed on its nameplate can indicate a problem with the windings or a lack of incoming current. Pumps will only draw as many amps as are required to operate under the current load.
How many amps does a 1.0hp pool pump pull?
One horsepower is equivalent to 746 watts. So if the motor is wired for 220 volts the current consumed is 3.39 amps. (watts divided by voltage = current) so? the label says 7.6 amps for a 1hp with a SF of 1.25 at 240 volts. 9.6 for a 1.5 hp .this is your typical pool pump motor, what motor are you getting data from ?
Can an older pool pump draw more amps to trip main breaker?
Yes, an older pump/motor can draw more amps. This usually happens when the motors windings are going bad or the bearings are going out. This causes the motor to have to work harder to rotate. It should have its own breaker. If its blowing your main, The motors windings are probably bad and the motor should be replaced.
How many amps are needed for a 220V well?
It depends on the motor. The motor determines the amperage. Should be written on the well pump itself.
How many amps should a 220 volt well pump pull?
The horsepower of the motor is needed to complete this answer.
How many solar panels amps volt to run a 110v pool pump?
Solar panels produce DC voltages. I presume that your pool pump uses 120 volts AC. Find the amperage of the pump. Find out what the output current of a single solar cell produces. Divide this into the pump amperage. If the output voltage is 12 VDC then you will need at least 10 cells to start. The total current of these 10 cells will have to be greater that the pump motor nameplate. Now you will have to purchase an inverter to change the DC to AC.
What is the difference between full load amps and running load amps?
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.
How many amps does it take to run a well?
The amperage is governed by the voltage that is used and the horsepower of the pump motor being used. With out that information the question can not be answered.
How do you measre the running amps a star delta motor?
Measure the current on the incoming side of the starter.
What is the difference between Full load Amps and Service Factor Amps on an electric motor?
Full load amps is the amperage at which the motor was designed to work at to achieve its rated horsepower. Service factor amps is the amount of a periodic overload at which a motor can operate without overload or damage. Continuous operation within the service factor amps will shorten the insulation and motor bearing life of the motor as the motor will be operating at a higher temperature than it was designed to.
What type of induction motor is used in water pump set?
3 Phase induction motor is used in water pump set.(K.W-5.5,V-415,AMPS-CONN 10.35 DELTA,RPM-1450). Use for domestic pumps only 2 phase
Can a 780 watt uninterruptible power supply handle a 12.5 amp pump motor at 120 volts?
Volts * Amps = Watts 120 Volts * 12.5 Amps = 1500 Watts Doesn't sound like a good idea.
