What is the amperage of a 20 HP 240v single phase motor?
Typically single phase motors go up to 10hp. Wouldn't be very efficient at about 100 amps. A 20hp 3 phase motor at 230v pulls 52 amps. The 10hp single phase 230v pulls 50 amps.
A particular 3 phase induction motor has a LRA of 100 amps What is its approximate starting current?
LRA (locked rotor amperage) is not considered. Starting current for a motor is usually in the neighbourhood of 300% of the FLA (full load amps). The FLA is taken from the motor's nameplate.
What size wire and breaker for a 30 hp 240 volt 3 phrase motor?
A three phase 30 HP at 240 volts draws 80 amps. Motor feeders have to be rated at 125% of the motors full load amps. 80 x 125% = 100 amps. A # 3 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C are rated at 100 and 105 amps respectively. Non-time delay fusing is 225 amps, time delay fusing is 125 amps and a circuit breaker is sized by 250% x 80, the full load amps, which equals 200 amps.
How many amps does a one horse power motor draw?
depends what the source voltage isone horsepower equals to 746watts (assuming 100% efficiency)746 watts divided by voltage source equals current (amps)AnswerIn countries, such as the USA, where the horsepower is still used as a means of measuring power, it is always used to measure the output power of a motor.So, in order to determine the current drawn by the motor, you will first need to find out its input power. The input power is the output power divided by the machine's efficiency. Once you know its input power, then you can find its current by dividing the input power by the supply voltage. In practise, you will need to use a wattmeter to determine its input power.
What is the amperage of a 400 HP 4160 volt 3 phase motor?
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.

Typically single phase motors go up to 10hp. Wouldn't be very efficient at about 100 amps. A 20hp 3 phase motor at 230v pulls 52 amps. The 10hp single phase 230v pulls 50 amps.
What is max single phase hp as per nec?
The maximum single phase HP motor listed in the CEC is 10 HP. At 115 volts 100 amps and 230 volts 50 amps.
What is the start up amps on a 200 hp 3 phase 480 volt motor?
i have 200 hp motor what i need cable size in 100 feet distance
How much is the amps to run a three phase motor?
To find the amperage of a three phase motor, the following equation needs to be used. Amps = HP x 746/1.73 x Volts x % efficiency x power factor. once all of the values are added you can find the amperage of any Horsepower motor at any three phase voltage. 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.

How many amps required to run 10 ton air conditioner?
The exact amperage needed to run a 10-ton air conditioner will vary depending on the specific model and efficiency of the unit. As a rough estimate, a 10-ton air conditioner typically requires around 40-50 amps to operate under normal conditions. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's specifications or an electrician for precise information.
What size wire and breaker for a 30 hp 240 volt 3 phrase motor?
A three phase 30 HP at 240 volts draws 80 amps. Motor feeders have to be rated at 125% of the motors full load amps. 80 x 125% = 100 amps. A # 3 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C are rated at 100 and 105 amps respectively.

What size circuit breaker is used for a 10000 watt single phase cooler with 240 volts?
The equation for amperage is Amps = Watts/Volts = 10000/240 = 41.6 amps. It is not stated if this is a motor load or not. If it is a motor load then the feeder has to be rated at 125% x 41.6 = 52 amp wire. Also if it is a motor load then the breaker will have to be 250% x 41.6 = 104 amps. A 100 amp breaker will work and still be within the electrical code ruling. Otherwise for 41.6 amps a 50 amp breaker will be sufficient.

I have a three phase device on a 415v 50 Hz supply drawing about 100 amps. If I put that device on a 380v 60 Hz supply how will the frequency difference effect the motor?
That is a big motor, 70-80 HP and you should check with an electrician. It depends on what type of motor it is and what type of load it is driving.
What size of wire use and breaker for a 30 hp 220 volt 3 phase compressor?
Wire size calculations and breaker sizing are based on the motors amperage. If the amperage is not known the electrical code book rating are used by electricians. The book states that a three phase 30 HP motor draws 80 amps. An 80 amp motor needs a conductor rated at 100 amps. A #3 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 100 and 115 amps respectively. Non time delay fuses rated at 225 amps, time delay fused rated at 125 amps or a breaker rated at 200 amps. These figures can probably be reduced if the actual motors amperage rating is used in the calculation.
