20.833 amps at 240volts equals 5000 watts. Wattage is volts times amps.
i think it is 112.16 amps
For a single phase 3 HP motor at 208 volts the amperage is 18.7 amps. For a three phase 3 HP motor at 208 volts the amperage is 10.5 amps. This figure is derived at by taking the full load amps at 230 volts and adding 10%. As the voltage goes down the amperage goes up. For 200 volt motors 15% is added to the FLA of a 230 volt motor.
Wire sizing is determined by the amount of amperage that the connected device draws. Look on the nameplate of the motor and state the amperage. Then the question can be answered.
A breaker is based on the amperage that is drawn by the pump motor load. Find the full load amperage of the motor. The wire fed from the breaker has to be rated at 125% of the motors full load amperage. The breaker for motors have to be over sized, usually 250% of the motors full load amps.
FLA = full load amps <<>> It is a term that is associated with motors. It is the amperage of the motor when it operates at its full rated horsepower under load.
This is determined by the size motor and the amount of amps the motor draws, be on the safe side and consult the owners manual or an Electrician. <<>> The sizing of the breaker and feeder wire is based on the amperage of the compressor. Look on the name plate and find the amperage. The amperage on the nameplate then has to be multiplied by the motors full load amperage and that value is used for the wire size. Because the load is a motor the FLA is again multiplied by 250% to size the breaker. This takes into allowance the high starting current of a motor from 0 to 100% RPM.
For a single phase 3 HP motor at 208 volts the amperage is 18.7 amps. For a three phase 3 HP motor at 208 volts the amperage is 10.5 amps.

Yes a 208 voltage motor will operate on 220 volts. You have to increase the motor overload protection by 10% of the motor's full load amperage to protect the motor.
Wire sizing is based on the motors full load amperage. The amperage can be calculated but a voltage has to be stated. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. Restate the question with a voltage and an answer can be given.
what is the full load amps for 2.4 hp motor at 460 volts ?
If the nameplate states 20 amps then that is the full load amperage when the motor is running. The start up current on the motor could reach 300% of the FLA depending on the type of motor and the load that is connected to the motor.
Wire sizing is determined by the amount of amperage that the connected device draws. Look on the nameplate of the motor and state the amperage. Then the question can be answered.
FLA is the nameplate amperage rating of the motor when it is running at its designed horsepower and on the motors designed voltage. 746 watts = 1 HP. The FLA of a 1 HP motor at 240 volts would be W = amps x volts, Amps = Watts/Voltage. 746/240 = 3.1 amps full load. Overload the motor and the amps go higher, motor running at no load amps are lower than FLA
A breaker is based on the amperage that is drawn by the pump motor load. Find the full load amperage of the motor. The wire fed from the breaker has to be rated at 125% of the motors full load amperage. The breaker for motors have to be over sized, usually 250% of the motors full load amps.
It depends on what the amperage of the motor is. The motors amperage depends on the voltage of the motor. The higher the voltage the motor operates on the lower the amperage. So unless the amperage from the motor's nameplate is stated an answer can not be given.Just remember that the feeder capacity to the motor has to be 125% of the motors full load amperage and the breaker protecting the conductors to the motor has to be rated at 250% of the motors FLA. This higher breaker size allows the motor to start without tripping a normal size breaker that is rated for the lower conductor size.
A 1/2 HP 115volt motor draws 9.8 amps. This is a nominal book amperage for a 1/2 HP motor, check the nameplate for an accurate value. A breaker, to protect this size motor, has to be rated at 250% of the motors full load amps. In this case a 25 amp breaker in needed. If using the actual nameplate amperage, multiply it by 250% to find the size of the breaker to use. If the motor used 230 volts as a supply a two pole 15 amp breaker would work.
Wire size is based on the amperage of the load. Without knowing what the motors's full load amperage is, an answer can not be given.
