The horsepower of the motor is needed to complete this answer.
To answer this question the pump's voltage is needed.
It depends on the motor. The motor determines the amperage. Should be written on the well pump itself.
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.
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.
It would depend on how deep your well is, and how efficient the pump.

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 ?
Not necessarily it all depends on how many amps it draws.
A blockage in the downstream side of the pump could make this pump work harder raising the amps as the pump now has to do more work to get through the line. An upstream blockage would make the pump spin more freely lowering the amps on the pump as it will not be doing any work.
The factory pump uses 6 to 9 amps depending on the condition of the pump. A worn pump uses more power of course. I don't know what problems if any you are having but if you blow a 10amp fuse then change the fuel filter, a pluged filter will make your pump work much harder. Still blows? Then time for a new pump. Aftermarket pumps such as a Walbro pulls almost 15 amps.
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.
The fuel pump is going bad, or the filter is so clogged that the pump is using too many amps to run.
One HP is equal to 746 watts. 2 x 746 = 1492 watts. The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. The most accurate amperage is found on the nameplate as this is established by the motor's manufacturer.
A typical fuel pump relay should pull straight out with your fingers.
1 HP = 745.70 wattsPower (watts) = Current (amps) x VoltsSo if you use a 110 volt system, amps = 745.7/110 = 6.779 ampsIf you use a 220 volt system, amps = 745.7/220 = 3.389 ampsFor a 12 volt system, amps = 745.7/12 = 62.142 amps
An Aquatop CP-25 circulated pump is rated at 30 amps. The pump will not typically draw this much current unless it is under fully load or is pulling a contaminated mixture.
