1HP =746 watts power(watts)= current times voltage ... 746x500=373000. 373000/380= 981.58 so 981.58 amps
AnswerYou have not supplies sufficient information to answer the question.
The load current depends upon the type of motor(d.c./a.c./ single-phase/ three-phase), and the efficiencyof the motor. Before you can calculate the current, you need to determine the input power to the machine, which is always greater than its output power, which you have described as being 500 hp. Once you have determined the input power, and the type of motor, only then can you can calculate the load current

Will 220 volt work in a high volt 3 phase motor?
Yes a 208 voltage motor will operate on 220 volts. You have to increase the motor overload protection by 10% of the motor's full load amperage to protect the motor.
What is the FLA at 230 volts with nameplate amps of 20 and voltage of 230?
If the nameplate states 20 amps then that is the full load amperage when the motor is running. The start up current on the motor could reach 300% of the FLA depending on the type of motor and the load that is connected to the motor.
What is Full Load Amps?
FLA is the nameplate amperage rating of the motor when it is running at its designed horsepower and on the motors designed voltage. 746 watts = 1 HP. The FLA of a 1 HP motor at 240 volts would be W = amps x volts, Amps = Watts/Voltage. 746/240 = 3.1 amps full load. Overload the motor and the amps go higher, motor running at no load amps are lower than FLA
What size armoured copper cable needed for 75 kW motor?
Wire sizing is based on the motors full load amperage. The amperage can be calculated but a voltage has to be stated. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. Restate the question with a voltage and an answer can be given.
How do you choose circuit breaker all the control circuit if i have 50kw power of motor?
The breaker should be sized to 250% of the motor's full load amperage.
What is the full load amps for 2.4 hp motor at 460 volts?
what is the full load amps for 2.4 hp motor at 460 volts ?
What is the full load amperage of a 500 HP motor at 4160 volts?
20.833 amps at 240volts equals 5000 watts. Wattage is volts times amps.
Will 220 volt work in a high volt 3 phase motor?
Yes a 208 voltage motor will operate on 220 volts. You have to increase the motor overload protection by 10% of the motor's full load amperage to protect the motor.
What size breaker do you need for a well pump?
A breaker is based on the amperage that is drawn by the pump motor load. Find the full load amperage of the motor. The wire fed from the breaker has to be rated at 125% of the motors full load amperage. The breaker for motors have to be over sized, usually 250% of the motors full load amps.
What is the FLA at 230 volts with nameplate amps of 20 and voltage of 230?
If the nameplate states 20 amps then that is the full load amperage when the motor is running. The start up current on the motor could reach 300% of the FLA depending on the type of motor and the load that is connected to the motor.
What wire size for world's simplest motor?
Wire size is based on the amperage of the load. Without knowing what the motors's full load amperage is, an answer can not be given.

What is FLA in electrical terms?
FLA = full load amps <<>> It is a term that is associated with motors. It is the amperage of the motor when it operates at its full rated horsepower under load.
How many Amps for 3 horsepower at 208 volts?
For a single phase 3 HP motor at 208 volts the amperage is 18.7 amps. For a three phase 3 HP motor at 208 volts the amperage is 10.5 amps. This figure is derived at by taking the full load amps at 230 volts and adding 10%. As the voltage goes down the amperage goes up. For 200 volt motors 15% is added to the FLA of a 230 volt motor.
How do you choose circuit breaker all the control circuit if i have 50kw power of motor?
The breaker should be sized to 250% of the motor's full load amperage.
What is the amp load of 125 hp 480 volts 3 phase motor?
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.
