The question is not worded correctly. It should ask, what is the full load current for a 5 hp motor.

The correct answer is predicated on a few unknown factors.

#1. What is the user voltage?

#2. Is this a single phase or a three phase application?

Without those unknown values here is the N.E.C. Table "nominal" Ful Load Currents.

3 Phase: 230V = 15.2A 460V = 7.6A

1 Phase: 115V = 56A 230V = 28A

Keep in mind that the N.E.C. Tables are for nominal applications only. The National Electrical Code requires that you refer to the motor nameplate specifications for applying both short circuit and overload protection.

How many amps will a 75 hp dc motor draw?

HP = (Current x Voltage)/746, or HP = (IE)/746 (disregarding %Efficiency) So, you have to solve for I, current: I = (746 x HP)/E


How many starting amps carried out by 20 hp three phase motor?

The starting current for a 20 HP three-phase motor typically ranges from 4 to 8 times the full-load current. For a 20 HP motor, the full-load current is approximately 24 to 26 amps, depending on the voltage. Therefore, the starting current can be around 96 to 208 amps. Actual values may vary based on the motor's design and specific application conditions.

How much current will take 1 hp motor?

A 1 horsepower (hp) motor typically draws about 746 watts of power. To calculate the current it takes, you can use the formula ( I = \frac{P}{V} ), where ( I ) is the current in amperes, ( P ) is the power in watts, and ( V ) is the voltage. For example, at 120 volts, a 1 hp motor would draw approximately 6.2 amps, while at 240 volts, it would draw about 3.7 amps. The actual current may vary based on the motor's efficiency and the load it is under.


What size transformer do you need to start a 15 hp motor?

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.


What formula is used to find amps when hp and volts are known?

For a single-phase induction motor, allow 7 amps on a 240 v for a 1-HP motor. Therefore the formula is: current = 7 X HP x 240 / voltage
