Depends on the voltage. If you are running off 120 VAC, a 0.5 horsepower motor would draw 3.1 A.
3.65A

Watts = Volts times Amps. Therefore, if the voltage was 220 volts, the motor would draw 500 amps. If the voltage was 4,000 volts, the motor would draw 27.5 amps. The voltages for large powerful motors tend to be relatively high, for example in the 380 Volts to 11,500 Volts range.
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%
The current draw is about 27 amps. A motor feeder has to be 125% of the motors full load amperage. 27 x 125% = 33 amps. A #8 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 40 amps.
T430.247 of the NEC shows that a 1 hp motor operating at full load on 115v will draw 16 amps, called Full Load Current (FLC). Conductors supplying this motor are required to be 125% of FLC which is 20 amps. Motor circuits are complicated things and do not follow the rules of other circuits. This motor, while drawing a maximum of 16 amps at full load and supplied with #12 AWG copper conductors can be protected by a breaker of 40 amps.
It depends on the size and type of the motor being started.
A single phase 10 HP motor will draw aproximately 50 amps. A three phase 10 HP motor will draw aproximately 28 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.

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.
Excessive resistance (drag), will cause motor to draw more amps (current flow) to operate.
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.
To answer this question the voltage of the motor must be stated.
Watts = Volts times Amps. Therefore, if the voltage was 220 volts, the motor would draw 500 amps. If the voltage was 4,000 volts, the motor would draw 27.5 amps. The voltages for large powerful motors tend to be relatively high, for example in the 380 Volts to 11,500 Volts range.
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 wiring should allow for 115 amps.
1 horsepower is equal to 0.7456 kWatts, therefore 1.1184 kWatts will be the power consumption of that motor. The current draw depends on the voltage, simply use the P=UxI or I=P/U formulas to figure out the current draw (P=1118.4 Watts). some voltages: 12Vdc draw 93.2Amps 24Vdc draws 46.6Amps 110Vdc draws 10.17Amps 230Vdc draws 4.86Amps
