The number of amps a horsepower (HP) motor uses when connected to a variable voltage, phase, and frequency (V pH Hz) line depends on the motor's efficiency, voltage, and load conditions. A general rule of thumb is that a 1 HP motor typically draws about 10 amps at 120 volts or about 5 amps at 240 volts under full load conditions. However, this can vary based on the motor's specific design and operating conditions. To get an accurate amperage, it's best to refer to the motor's nameplate or specifications.

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 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.


How many amps does a garage door motor use?

A typical garage door motor uses about 3-5 amps while operating. This may vary depending on the specific model and size of the motor. It's important to check the motor's specifications for precise information.


Why is my single phase induction motor drawing to many amps?

I have a single phase induction motor. It draws 8 amps on start up and climbs to 14-15 amps when I put a load on it. When I don't have a load it runs at 1 and climbs to 2-3 amps. It is normal operation for this motor to run at the lower number of amps with a load. But I don't know what is wrong.
