To answer this question the voltage of the motor must be stated.
The wiring should allow for 115 amps.
To start a 15 hp motor, you typically need a transformer that can handle the motor's starting current, which can be significantly higher than its running current. Generally, the starting current can be 6 to 8 times the full-load current of the motor. For a 15 hp motor, the full-load current is about 18-20 amps at 230V or 10-12 amps at 460V, so the transformer should be rated to handle at least 100-160 amps. Additionally, it's advisable to consult the motor's specifications and consider factors like starting method and application to determine the exact transformer size.
A 15 amp circuit breaker should trip at 15 amps regardless of the load voltages or impedances. If you have 277 volts and 7 ohms, the current would be 39.5 amps and a 15 amp circuit breaker should trip.
The formula you are looking for is I = kW x 1000/1.73 x E x pf. I = 1.5 x 1000 = 1500. 1500/1.73 x 400 x .86 = 1500/595 = 2.5 amps. A standard motor's efficiency between 5 to 100 HP is .84 to .91. A standard motor's power factor between 10 to 100 HP is .86 to .92. A feeder for a motor has to be rated at 125% of the motors full load amps 2.5 x 125% = 3.1 amps A #14 copper conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 15 amps.
At 600 volts the rule of thumb is one amp per horsepower. So a 20 HP motor would need 20 amp wire. The code book states that a 20 HP motor at 575 volts draws 22 amps. The conductor for a motor has to be 125% rating of the motors FLA (full load amps). 22 x 125% = 27.5 amps. A #10 copper conductor with a insulation factor of 60,75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 30 amps.
A 240V well pump typically draws around 10-15 amps.
The wiring should allow for 115 amps.
Presuming single phase and 1500 rpm. Normal running current would nearly 10 Amps but varies considerably. A real cheap one running at 3000/3600 rpm could exceed 12 amps. At 240 volt, all should be run off 15 Amp line.
I have a single phase induction motor. It draws 8 amps on start up and climbs to 14-15 amps when I put a load on it. When I don't have a load it runs at 1 and climbs to 2-3 amps. It is normal operation for this motor to run at the lower number of amps with a load. But I don't know what is wrong.
A typical blower on high speed can draw around 10-15 amps, but this can vary depending on the size and type of blower. It's important to check the specific product specifications for accurate information.
The amp draw of a DeWalt compressor can vary depending on the model and specifications. However, most DeWalt compressors for residential use typically draw between 10-15 amps. It's important to check the specific model's manual or specifications for accurate information.
15 amps
15 Amps
It's the amps that are controlled by the breaker not the volts. You can have a 600 volt 15 amp breaker, you can have a 347 volt 15 amp breaker. The breaker will trip when you exceed 15 AMPS.
It all depends upon what is "ON" at the time. A running vehicle with only the ignition system operating uses about 10-15 amps. Turn on the headlights and it will draw an additional 10 amps. With everything on, it can draw from 30-100 amps. Do you mean "what is the alternator rated at?" Your Jeep alternator would be normally rated at about 100 amps output.
Depends on the amp draw of the items. Most home plugs in the U.S. can safely carry 15 amps.
An average central air conditioning unit typically draws between 15 to 50 amps, depending on the size and efficiency of the unit. It's important to consult the manufacturer's specifications or an electrician to determine the exact amp draw for a specific AC unit.
