To answer this question voltage, power factor, efficiency, and run configuration must be known, none of which was given in the question. I will make some assumptions, to shown how the calculation is done.
Given: 50 HP, three phase. Assumed: 480 volts delta, 0.92 PF, 0.95 EF, and WYE-DELTA start-run configuration.
1 HP (electric motor) is 746 watts, so 50 HP is 37.3 KW. Divide by PF 0.92 and by 0.95 EF to get 42.7 KVA. Divide by 480 V and by 3 to get 29.6 A per winding. Multiply by 1.732 (square root of 3) to get 51.3 A per phase.
Now, 51.3A is a lot of current, requiring large windings and, therefore, a large motor. I would consider a higher voltage motor, such as 4160. Rerun the calculations and you get 5.9A per phase. Does this justify a 4160 service? Its marginal, but you begin to see the issues involved in choosing a motor.

Will a 10 hp 220 volt motor draw large amounts of electricity?
A single phase 10 HP motor will draw aproximately 50 amps. A three phase 10 HP motor will draw aproximately 28 amps.
How many amps will a 24 volt dc motor draw if running at 12 volts?
Depends on how big the motor is. A stronger motor will draw more amps then a weaker or less efficient motor. For example a wiper motor draws far less then a starter motor.

To answer this question the voltage of the motor must be stated.
What generator size for twin 150 hp 480 3 phase motors 800 amps for a tire shredder.?
First of all, a 150 HP 460V 3-phase motor only draws around 170A, so two of them would only draw 340A, not 800. 340A at 460V equals almost 300,000 watts (or 300kw), and the generator would need to be sized a little bigger than this to start such big motors.

Why does a slow motor create high amps?
Excessive resistance (drag), will cause motor to draw more amps (current flow) to operate.

To answer this question the voltage of the motor must be stated.
How many amps drawn a 110KW motor?
Watts = Volts times Amps. Therefore, if the voltage was 220 volts, the motor would draw 500 amps. If the voltage was 4,000 volts, the motor would draw 27.5 amps. The voltages for large powerful motors tend to be relatively high, for example in the 380 Volts to 11,500 Volts range.

18kW motor will take how many amps?
To calculate the amps drawn by an 18kW motor, you can use the formula: Amps = Power (Watts) / Voltage (Volts). Assuming a standard voltage of 120V, the motor would draw approximately 150Amps. Note that actual amps will depend on the specific voltage of the motor.
How many amps for 1hp 3phase?
For a 1hp 3-phase motor, the current draw will depend on the voltage supply. Typically, at 230V, a 1hp 3-phase motor will draw around 3.6 amps. However, this value may vary based on the motor efficiency and power factor.
How many amps does a five horse power motor draw?
It depends on the voltage-- I think at 110v it's 4 amps per hp
How many amps should a 0.5 horsepower motor draw?
Depends on the voltage. If you are running off 120 VAC, a 0.5 horsepower motor would draw 3.1 A.
How many amps should a starter draw?
A typical starter motor draws around 50 to 150 amps while cranking an engine. If the current draw is significantly higher or lower, it may indicate a problem with the starter motor or the electrical system.
