How much electricity is consumed by a 15 hp motor being used for irrigation purpose?

To answer this question It must be assumed that this is a three phase motor. There is no listing for a single phase motor which would be in the neighbourhood of 80 amps. That said, the electrical code book rates a three phase 15 HP motor, for calculation purposes, at 460 volts at 21 amps. For an accurate reading use the motor's nameplate amperage reading.
The equation for kilowatts is, kW = Amps x Volts x 1.73 x PF /1000. kW = 21 x 460 x 1.73 x .9 = 15041/1000 = 15.04 kW. PF (power factor) constant used is .9.
Take the kilowatt calculated, times the amount of hours operated will give you kW hours. It is this value that you are charged on from the local utility company. Multiply this value times the charged rate of the utility company per kilowatt hour and you will have your answer.
The utility company's charge rate can be found on your power bill or give them a call to find out what it is.

What is the Necessity of drip irrigation?
Drip irrigation has the advantage over other irrigation types of being able to place a percise amount of water directly where it is required. Drip irrigation delivers water to the plant's roots leaving a minimal amount to be taken up by undesireable species or to run off into the environment.
Who besides African slaves were sent to work in North America against their will?
Slavery has been and can still be found on every continent. While it was never a justifiable practice, it appears to have transitioned into a more nefarious business in that people are now being sold with the purpose and expectation of their being consumed like a disposable product. In lieu of being sold for the purpose of labor, they are being destroyed by sexual predators whose resources allow them to take the lives of innocent people.
