1 Hp is about 746watts. Depending on how effecient your motor is and design of the pump housing, you're looking at 120V at 6.25amps at least. When the motor starts up, the initial load will draw a lot more current. A motor of this size is usually put on a dedicated circuit.

Any advantages in wiring a single speed pool pump 230V vs 115V electrician says cheaper to wire 115V?

Your electrician is correct on this. However, the pump is designed for 230V and will use less electricity, thus saving money if wired for 230V. Yeah, if you have to rewire for 230 V then it would be more expensive until your savings had consumed or offset the expense.


How is water related to electricity?

There are several ways for water to generate electricity:Hydroelectric Power: Water from a high location or from behind a dam flows through a turbine to turn a generatorWave Power: The oscillations of waves lift and lower floats which turn generatorsTidal Power: Tides flowing in and out of narrow estuaries turn turbinesThermal Power: Water is turned to steam by burning fuel or nuclear energy. The stream turns a turbine to turn generatorsGeothermal Power: Water turned to steam by the Earth's heat is directed through steam turbines to turn generatorsSolar Power: Sunlight is turned to electricity by solar panels. The electricity is used to turn water to hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen is collected as a fuel for fuel cells.

What are the main advantages offered by electric water pumps?

Electric water pumps can have several advantages for an automobile over a mechanical water pump. First, the electric pump doesn't run off a belt. Second, the amount of coolant is preset so its more accurate and precise. Also, the electric pump could provide the vehicle with more horsepower.

How much electricity does a well pump use?

That depends on the depth of the water in the well and the size of the pump.


How do you calculate shared well monthly cost?

To determine the cost of electricity used by the well pump of a shared well you could: 1) run the pump's electrical wiring through a electrical meter. Electrical meters of sufficient wattage are available from many hardware stores. This method is fairly exact in finding out how much electricity the pump uses. Finding out how much of that electricity was used to pump your water vs their water can be determined by installation of water meters.

Any energy source that generates electricity can be used to run an electricity pump for water. Without electricity, wind power, like a windmill, can be used to pump water, as it has done since the time of the Romans.


What is a pumped storage?

When there is not much demand for electricity, such as during the night, the extra electricity is used to pump water back up to a storage reservoir. Then, later in the day, when electricity demand is high, the water from the storage water is also released as an extra, producing more electricity when it is needed.


How do pumped storage reservoirs work?

When there is not much demand for electricity, such as during the night, the extra electricity is used to pump water back up to a storage reservoir. Then, later in the day, when electricity demand is high, the water from the storage water is also released as an extra, producing more electricity when it is needed.


How can you drain a sump pump without electricity?

How much electricity required for a 2hp with 230 volts and 8.70 amps well water pump for residental house?

To calculate the electricity required for the water pump, you can use the formula: Power (watts) = Voltage (volts) x Current (amps). In this case, the power requirement would be 230V x 8.70A = 2001 watts or approximately 2 kW. Operating the pump for an hour would consume 2 kWh of electricity.
