It would probably be 20-30 amps.

<<>>

The electrical code book states a value of 18.7amps for a 3HP 208 volt motor. If the nameplate data is available it is always best to use it when calculating wire size and overload protection for the motor.

The code book stated amperage for a three phase three HP 220 volt motor is 9.6 amps. This amperage is for calculation purposes only. The motors actual nameplate amperage should always be used to calculate wire and breaker sizing. Remember that the breaker for a motor has to be 250% of the motors full load amperage. The wire size has to be sized at 125% of the motor's full load amperage.

According to NEC Table 430.250, a common induction-type squirrel-cage motor, 3-phase, 208V, 1HP would draw 4.6A.

What is direct current and alternating current?

Direct current is a constant, steady state current, such as obtained from a battery. Alternating current is constantly switching polarity, usually in a sinusoidal waveform, such as obtained from an alternator, a form of generator that does not have a commutator.Direct Current and Alternating Current:The first and simpler type of electricity is called direct current, abbreviated "DC". This is the type of electricity that is produced by batteries, static, and lightning. A voltage is created, and possibly stored, until a circuit is completed. When it is, the current flows directly, in one direction. In the circuit, the current flows at a specific, constant voltage (this is oversimplified somewhat but good enough for our needs.)The other type of electricity is called alternating current, or "AC". This is the electricity that you get from your house's wall and that you use to power most of your electrical appliances. Alternating current is harder to explain than direct current. The electricity is not provided as a single, constant voltage, but rather as a sinusoidal (sine) wave that over time starts at zero, increases to a maximum value, then decreases to a minimum value, and repeats.

Is running a good way to lose weight?

If your joints are in good condition, and you're physically fit enough to run, it's a reasonable way to lose weight. Don't expect overnight results, however, A single pound of fat equals 3,000 calories; running for an hour consumes between 500 and 600 calories. Therefore, losing a single pound of fat takes 5 to 6 hours of continuous running.
