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

How many amps should a starter draw?

It depends on the size and type of the motor being started.


Will a 10 hp 220 volt motor draw large amounts of electricity?

A single phase 10 HP motor will draw aproximately 50 amps. A three phase 10 HP motor will draw aproximately 28 amps.


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 will a 24 volt dc motor draw if running at 12 volts?

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.


Why does a slow motor create high amps?

Excessive resistance (drag), will cause motor to draw more amps (current flow) to operate.


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 does a 15 hp motor draw?

To answer this question the voltage of the motor must be stated.


How many amps drawn a 110KW motor?

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.


How many amps does a 2 hp 210 volt single phase motor draw?

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.


How much current will a 15 hp single phase 220 volt fan motor draw?

The wiring should allow for 115 amps.


How many amps does a 1.5 hp dc motor draw?

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
