A 240V well pump typically draws around 10-15 amps.
To answer this question the pump's voltage is needed.
A 240v well pump typically uses between 750 to 1500 watts of power.
The current draw of a well pump can vary widely depending on the size and type of pump, as well as the depth and flow rate of the well. It is recommended to check the pump's specifications or consult with a professional to determine the exact amperage.
A pool pump motor which is drawing half the amps listed on its nameplate can indicate a problem with the windings or a lack of incoming current. Pumps will only draw as many amps as are required to operate under the current load.
An Aquatop CP-25 circulated pump is rated at 30 amps. The pump will not typically draw this much current unless it is under fully load or is pulling a contaminated mixture.
Assuming it is also rated for 120V., yes. The wattage doesn't change with an increase or decrease in voltage. However, the current draw does. When you double the voltage a load is hooked up to, the Amperage draw (current) drops in half. Example: if a 240 volt heater draws 6 amps, it will draw 12 amps if connected to 120V. If a 120V heater draws 15 amps, it will draw only 7.5 amps when connected to 240V. But power, or wattage stays the same, regardless. And this is what is used to calculate energy usage and therefore, cost. Please note the above answer says "if it is also rated for"
Voltage of the pump (12) multiplied by the current draw = the watts used. This would be 12 watts if the current was 1 amp, 24 watts if the current is 2 amps, and 36 watts if the current is 3 amps, and so on...
A 10 hp pump operating at 480 volts would draw approximately 15.6 amps of current. This can be calculated by dividing the power in watts by the voltage.
approximately 5.7 to 6.0 amps depending on temperature , load, and circuit resistance.
This can not be answered with the information you have given. 60Hz does not relate the the current draw so wire size can not be calculated.
Yes, an older pump/motor can draw more amps. This usually happens when the motors windings are going bad or the bearings are going out. This causes the motor to have to work harder to rotate. It should have its own breaker. If its blowing your main, The motors windings are probably bad and the motor should be replaced.
If that is continuous draw and not start, then I would use 8awg.
