Need to know the horsepower of the motor.
Need to know the voltage and phase for this question.

Shunt motors do operate on single phase AC. There are millions, if not billions of them worldwide running right now.Make certain your voltage supply is correct for your motor. Also, make certain you're providing the proper amperage. Make sure it's not a three phase motor. (three phase motors won't operate on single phase power.) If your supply voltage and amp supply is correct and the motor still doesn't run, you've got a bad motor.
a 3 phase 415 volts 50 HZ 15 HP motor draws: 1. On no load 3.6 amp after a starting kick of around 18AMP 2. On a full load : a starting kick of 108 amp for few seconds and then18.3 amp. 3. On rated load(this means the motor is selected such that the load is 80% of the motor capacity) 14.64 amp with a starting kick of 88Amp.
230 v 6 amps is 1380 VA which equals about 1 kW, so a 3 kW motor implies it's a 3 phase motor. It would turn over on a single phase supply in whatever direction it was first spun in, but the performance would be poor and the motor or generator could get damaged.
Amp draw is always combined. 220V is uncertain if it is three phase or not, because there are both one phase and three phase applications of the 220V motor. In any case, the answer is always "combined".
I would go with 20 amp 3 pole 15 amp will also do
It depends on how powerful the motor is, and what type of load it is driving.

118.72 amp current will be consumedAnswerFirst of all, 70 horsepower is the machines output, not its input, so you cannot calculate its current without knowing its efficiency. Secondly, the current also depends on the type of motor -is it a.c. or d.c? Is it single-phase or three-phase? Without this information, your question cannot be answered.
the three phase dc motor never seen yet motor eaither 3phase m/r or dc motor.
Watts = Amps x Volts x Power Factor Power factor varies from 0 to 1 with 1 being a pure resistive load like a light bulb. A motor would have a lesser value. So if your load is resistive just use 1 x 440.

The electrical code states that a 50 HP 460 volt three phase motor draws 65 amps. The ideal amperage would be taken from the motors nameplate as different motors of the same horsepower will have different amperage's depending on what they are designed to do.
resistance = volt / current . 440 volt across a parallel circuit means the same 440 volt across both resistance s. hence resistance r = volt / current . 440 / 20 amp = 27.5 ohms total resistance
The 40 amp motor probably produces double the horsepower of the 22 amp motor.
