Need to know the voltage of the motor. Use this formula, I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts. Once you have the amperage then ask, what size wire is needed for (your amperage) at (your voltage).

If you replaced a table saw motor from a 2 HP 120V 30A to a 3HP 240V 15A Is the existing 14ga wiring on the saw okay to use or do you need to upgrade to a heaver wire?

That's right on the cusp. 15 amps is the maximum draw for 14 awg wire. I'd upgrade to 12 awg to be safe. Unless you know exactly what you are doing, go no further! There is a big differenc between 120 Volt wiring and 240 Volt wiring. You run the risk of burning up the motor, injuring yourself, and possibly starting a fire. You are proposing making a major modification to this saw, which, if not done properly, will be very dangerous! What you want to do can be done, but only by a qualified technician. Look for a small equipment shop, electrician, electric motor specialist, or millwright to help you.


How many amps will a 3 hp motor pull on 230 volts?

It depends on the voltage of the motor, and whether it is single-phase or 3-phase. A 120 VAC 2HP single phase motor draws almost 20 amps, a 240 VAC single-phase 2HP motor draws about 10 amps. A 480 VAC 2HP three-phase motor only draws about 6 amps.


What blender is the strongest?

I was in the bar business for more than five years and commercial blenders are definitely the strongest. Bars and restaurants use them because they can handle a high volume of clientele, work much faster, and rarely need to be replaced. A few brands are: - Hamilton Beach - Waring - BarTec These are some of the best brands on the market for what you're looking for. Waring makes the most different versions of blenders though. You can find all of them at Mission Restaurant Supply, so you should try out their website. http://www.missionrs.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Search-Result-blender Happy hunting. :) Lauren I simply think the Blendtec Blender and the Vita-mix blender buy far are the best and strongest blenders on the market. The Blendtec blender has a 3hp motor and the Vita-mix has a 2 hp motor. You can see both in action on www.blenditall.com
