On an electrical circuit why is a motor with a 7.6A rating only drawing 5.1A?

Possibly because it is not running at 100% capacity.

What is Selection procedure for motor protection circuit breaker?
The selection of overload protection for motors is taken from a table in the electrical code book. It is based on the full load current rating of the motor.
What causes electrical overloads?
Electrical overloads are caused by the load amperage increasing above what it should normally be. On a motor load this could be a request for the motor to do more work than the motor is capable of, working outside of its HP rating. In a house circuit an overload is created by plugging more devices into the circuit than the circuit breaker can handle. Again the load current will be higher than the circuit will allow and the circuit will open by the tripping of the breaker.
Why is a motor needed in a circiut?
A motor is not needed in a circuit, a motor is an electrical load for the current to drive, but the circuit can perform with other types of load - such as a lamp, a transformer, a heating coil, or any electronic load. if you mean 'why does an electric motor need a circuit?' this is because the motor is an electrical device which has coils of wire to produce a magnetic field, without the circuit it cannot function.
What circuit breaker rating do you need for a 3 phase electric motor?
The circuit breaker is sized to the full load amps of the motor times 250%.
What wires go where on my condenser fan motor black orange and purple?
There is an electrical drawing on the motor that tells you how to wire it.
What does a motor do to help the circuit from working?
it changes the electrical energy into mechanical energy
Why do you need a motor in a circuit?
to turn electrical potential into mechanical work/motion.
Does a motor work?
A motor does not provide energy. It converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. From a circuit standpoint, the motor is considered a load (similar to a resistor). Resistors convert electrical energy to heat energy.
What is an electric circuit that controls another electric circuit through a relay?
Remote-Control Circuit. Any electrical circuit that controlsany other circuit through a relay or an equivalent device.
Name three electrical components used in simple circuit?
bulb, Motor, buzzer, battery
What is the voltage rating of a motor on a 3 phase 4 wire 277V lighting circuit?
If the motor is a three phase the most likely voltage the motor operates on will be 480 volts.
What causes blower motor to melt fuses?
blower moter coil windings shorted, motor spinning too slow than normal (increase current draw), short circuit in wiring, excessive amp or current draw in blower circuit than what is protected by amp rating fuse for that circuit. maybe even having too many loads (electrical devices on at once) especially if all these devices are connected in a parallel circuit and power is bridged.
