yes
Presuming single phase and 1500 rpm. Normal running current would nearly 10 Amps but varies considerably. A real cheap one running at 3000/3600 rpm could exceed 12 amps. At 240 volt, all should be run off 15 Amp line.
bad starter motor can also be that the battery does not have enuff cranking amps for that motor
Not true, If the motor runs fine on the power cord usually # 14 AWG, good for 15 amps, But a longer cord will usually starve the motor for power, which will make the motor heat up due to the low voltage at the motor, which will litterly burn up the motor, if using a longer cord make it a # 12 AWG, good for 20 amps.
Volts * Amps = Watts 120 Volts * 12.5 Amps = 1500 Watts Doesn't sound like a good idea.
amp is amzaing because it just is
Storm amps are fairly good amps, but u want to go with a marshal mg15fx micro stack. if u like rock music sounds.
yes for continuous duty it must be at least 10% larger than the normal load they usually get you on water heaters that take 28 amps need to put those on a 40A with #8 wire not good on the 30A now if a motor rated fuse and nothing else will ever be on the circuit you can probably be correct with a 17 amp fuse and that is suitable for all the motor overload and locked rotor protection and it will provide 80 amps for starting
This is a good indication that the motor is being overloaded. If the motor load is belt driven, remove the belt and then check the motor amps. If it goes back to normal FLA then there is a problem with the driven load. If the motor amperage stays high check the motor bearings for the problem.
Generally 40 amps continuous or 50 amps surge is safe.
depends on its use. If its for residential service its good for 125 amps In commercial and industrial installations it's a bit more complicated but you end up at the same 125 amps.

hitting the target accurately and consistently.
