This type of question usually means you aren't ready to do this yourself. Study some electrical material and the National Electrical Code and work this answer out for yourself. If I were to give you an answer, you might attempt to do something you shouldn't be doing, and that may cost someone a shock, a home fire, or their life.

What gauge wire for 2 hp motor?
For a 2 hp motor, it is recommended to use a wire gauge of either 12 or 10 AWG for typical household applications. However, it is always best to consult the motor's specification sheet or a qualified electrician to ensure the correct wire size is used based on the specific requirements of the motor and the installation.
What size wire and breaker for a 7.5 hp motor?
For a 7.5 hp motor operating at 240V, you would typically use a 14-gauge wire and a 40 amp breaker. However, it is best to consult the motor's specifications and the National Electrical Code to determine the exact wire size and breaker needed for your specific setup.
What size hydraulic motor is needed to be equal to a 3 hp electric motor?
To determine the size of the hydraulic motor needed to be equal to a 3 hp electric motor, you would need to calculate the hydraulic motor's power output in horsepower. Hydraulic motors are generally less efficient than electric motors, so you may need a larger hydraulic motor to match the power output of a 3 hp electric motor. Consult the manufacturer's specifications and consider factors such as efficiency and operating conditions.
Can a starter used for 5 hp 3 phase motor be used for 7.5 hp 3 phase motor?
No, you cannot use a starter rated for a 5 hp motor with a 7.5 hp motor. The starter needs to be matched to the motor's horsepower rating to ensure proper protection and operation. Using an undersized starter can lead to overheating and premature failure of the motor. It is recommended to use a starter specifically designed for a 7.5 hp motor.
You want to wire up a receptacle to run a 2 hp 230 volt dust collector you have some NMD 90 14-2 available The run is about 50 feet from the panel Is this wire suitable and adequate?
No, NMD 90 14-2 wire is not suitable for a 2 hp 230 volt dust collector. You would need to use a wire with a higher ampacity such as NMD 90 10-3 wire to handle the current required for a 2 hp motor. Ensure to consult with a qualified electrician for proper wire sizing and installation.
What gauge wire for 2 hp motor?
For a 2 hp motor, it is recommended to use a wire gauge of either 12 or 10 AWG for typical household applications. However, it is always best to consult the motor's specification sheet or a qualified electrician to ensure the correct wire size is used based on the specific requirements of the motor and the installation.

How far can you run a 1.5 hp swimming pool pump on 12 2 with a ground?
12-2 can easily support a 220V 1.5 HP pump out to 200Ft. However you may need a separate #8 ground wire in some states.
What is the minimum copper size wire for a 40HP motor?
That depends on the voltage of the motor and the circuit. A 40 HP motor is a fairly large motor. If you don't know the answer to your own question, it's unlikely that you're qualified to wire it. Better consult and/or hire a qualified commercial electrician.
Will using a generator to power a 220v three quarter hp Aermotor submersible well pump damage the pump?
No, as long as the generator has sufficient KW for the pump's requirements. A 3/4 hp, 220V motor draws around 5 to 6 amps. That's 1.1 to 1.3 KW, but because motors have high starting current, your generator should be rated for at least twice that, preferably 3 times. I would recommend a 3.6KW 220V generator to be safe.
Need to know wire size for 50 hp motor at 56.9 amps?
6 gauge if it is a very short distance.
What size wire and breaker for 125hp 240 volts 3 phase motor?
The wire size and the circuit breaker for a 125 hp motor must consider the length of lead wire to the motor (essentially the distance of the motor from the supply). 125 hp is a VERY large motor and would be used only in industrial applications. You will need to consult a technician for proper advice, but the general answer to your question follows: The current draw on such a large motor would be approximately 300 amps. That is very large, and would require a wire size of 0000 AWG or 750M. 0000 AWG is 0.46 inches (11.68 mm) in diameter. As you can see, the wire is very large. It is not something you could install yourself.
What hp has for motor?
The HP of a motor is determined by the manufacturer of the motor. The after market user or engineer then determines what size of HP is needed to operate their type of designed equipment. When the customer buys the equipment needed for their type of manufacturing an electrician is hired to connect the equipment to the electrical system. The electrician then determine the overload protection, wire size and voltage drop on long conductor runs.
How much copper in a 100 HP electric motor 100 HP electric Chicago air compressor motor?
The amount of copper in a particular motor is not determined by horsepower only, there is no relationship between the total weight of MAGNET WIRE to the HORSEPOWER of an electric motor. Determining factors are the vintage, frame, make, speed, and frame designation.
How wire up a 5 SPL - Special HP - motor?
To answer this question the motor use should be defined. Knowing that information the right kind of protection can be installed and wiring methods defined.
Which calble use single 1 hp motor?
Motors with same horse-powers have different full load amps when operating. To calculate the size of wire to supply the motor feeder the voltage or current of the motor has to be known.
What gauge ground wire should be used for a 220 V 3 HP motor in a well 400 ft deep?
No responsible person will answer this question without observing the situation first-hand. If you don't know how to calculate the answer yourself or look up the table in your local code books, then you shouldn't be installing a motor that size. 220V, 3HP motors are going to be multi-phasic, and that's going to require special connections.Consult a local electrician.
