The largest 120V motor generally available is 3hp. A 3hp, 120V motor draws about 30 amperes. All true 5hp motors I have seen are 230V or higher.
Note that some motors, such as compressors and vacuum cleaners, use artificially high hp numbers to entice you to buy their unit (they will use terms like peak-developed hp, etc.). These ratings are not true hp, and you just have to go by the nameplate rating on the unit.
For instance, I have a Sanborn Air Compressor that claims 4 PEAK horsepower, yet only draws 17 amperes at 120V. Its really closer to a 2hp motor.

How much current will a 15 hp single phase 220 volt fan motor draw?
The wiring should allow for 115 amps.
Can you replace a three phase motor 3 Hp RPM 1420 with a single phase motor for a planer?
Probably not. The single phase three horse power motor will be much larger in physical size than its three phase counterpart, and will probably not fit.
How much starting current required for starter of 1hp motor?
For 1 hp motor, a single phase starter is used. Because a single phase starter gives economy consumption,easy trouble shooting and easy installation when compared to three phase starters and supply....
When phase and neutral are glowing what is the problem in circuit?
There is more current flowing and the wire can not flow that much current.
How many amps does a 3 phase 22kw motor use?
22 kw motor how much takes ampares with load
How much current does a 120v 1200w hair dryer draw?
10a
What supply is needed to run a 22kw 3ph motor?
question is incomplete, I think you ask how much current consumed by this motor. for starting this motor we need a star/delta starter and a three phase supply.
How much current per phase will a 18KW motor draw on 415 v?
we can use the formula: Ip=KW/3/volts/pf
How much current will a 15 hp single phase 220 volt fan motor draw?
The wiring should allow for 115 amps.
How much current will consume for 70 hp motor 440 volts?
118.72 amp current will be consumedAnswerFirst of all, 70 horsepower is the machines output, not its input, so you cannot calculate its current without knowing its efficiency. Secondly, the current also depends on the type of motor -is it a.c. or d.c? Is it single-phase or three-phase? Without this information, your question cannot be answered.
120v how much current does a 1500w resistace heater draw?
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E.
How much current will a 5 HP single phase 220 volt motor draw?
P=VI P=power V=voltage I=current therefore current drawn is 5000/400=50/4=12.5 amperes
Can you replace a three phase motor 3 Hp RPM 1420 with a single phase motor for a planer?
Probably not. The single phase three horse power motor will be much larger in physical size than its three phase counterpart, and will probably not fit.
How much is a three phase 20A motor in Australia?

How do you calculate how much current a 5 kilowatt motor draws if it is a 3 phase motor 400v?
Power in a 3 phase circuit is given by W=√3*V*I*cosφ therefore transposing the formula gives: I=W/√3*V*cosφ where I=current in amps, W=power in watts, V=line voltage, cosφ=power factor (this should be on the motor plate, if not you could use 0.9) Regards ninenix
How much more efficient is a 2 hp 240 v 3 phase motor compared to a 120 v single phase 2 hp motor?
I would guess it would use a third less than a single phase motor. The voltage differences don't save but 3 phase does. A 3 phase motor also starts easier.
How much current does a 75 watt light bulb draw from a 120v wall outlet?
It's 75/120 and the answer is in amps.
