First, check the nameplate on the motor. The FLA or full load amperage is the required start up current and is typically 125-150 % higher than the running load amperage (RLA). So a current draw of 39.5 while starting would be normal for a motor drawing 25 A in run mode.

You don't need any calculations. If the stated RLA is close to 25 A and you're drawing 25 A then the motor is fine. As long as you're supplying the correct full voltage required by the motor, it will operate at "full capacity". There are numerous formulas for motors. I would need to know the motor's horsepower, voltage, whether it's single or three phase and its stated efficiency (EFF on the nameplate), the FLA and RLA to tell you if the motor is running properly or if it's going bad.

Q: Motor has full load current of 39.5 Amps the actual current measured on each phase is 25 Amps in delta you need to know if the motor is below its full capacity Any calculations to help you compare?

What are the three electrical guantities?

The three electrical quantities are current voltage and resistance. Current is measured in amperes (A) and is the rate at which electricity flows through a conductor. Voltage is measured in volts (V) and is the electrical force pushing the current through the conductor. Resistance is measured in ohms () and is the opposition to the flow of current. Current - measured in amperes (A) Voltage - measured in volts (V) Resistance - measured in ohms ()
