The equation that you are looking for is Amps = Watts/Volts. There are 6000 watts in 6kW.
8,33 Amps
For a single phase 3 HP motor at 208 volts the amperage is 18.7 amps. For a three phase 3 HP motor at 208 volts the amperage is 10.5 amps. This figure is derived at by taking the full load amps at 230 volts and adding 10%. As the voltage goes down the amperage goes up. For 200 volt motors 15% is added to the FLA of a 230 volt motor.
Typically 75 amps on natural gas, 85 amps using propane. Peak amps(for less than a second) to start a big appliance, like an A/C condenser, are 130.
At peak power it should draw 1.36 amp at power factor 1 or more realistically 1.7 amp at power factor 1.7.
You will need a 50 kW generator for a single phase 120/240 volt service.
62.5 amps
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.
8,33 Amps
6000amps <<>> The above answer must have big lugs to accommodate 6000 amp capacity wire. In my breaker catalogue the largest 120 volt single pole breaker is 70 amps, 277 volt single pole is 150 amps and 347 volt single pole is 100 amps. The 120 volt single pole breaker occupies two opposed slots because of its length.
88 amps
Volt amps is the same way of saying watts. This is seen in the formula Watts = Volts x Amps. Using the formula I = W/E we transpose I = 20000/240 = 83.33 amps.
no
Multiply the vots by the amps to find the volt-amps. Or divide the volt-amps by the voltage to find the amps.
The wiring should allow for 115 amps.
A single phase 10 HP motor will draw aproximately 50 amps. A three phase 10 HP motor will draw aproximately 28 amps.
For a single phase 3 HP motor at 208 volts the amperage is 18.7 amps. For a three phase 3 HP motor at 208 volts the amperage is 10.5 amps. This figure is derived at by taking the full load amps at 230 volts and adding 10%. As the voltage goes down the amperage goes up. For 200 volt motors 15% is added to the FLA of a 230 volt motor.
