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.


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.


How many amps does a 12 volt boat trolling motor use per hour?

You asked the wrong question. You need to know how many amps the motor uses. Then you can multiply amps times volts and get watts. Then you can multiply watts by hours and get watt hours. (For house electricity you pay for kilowatt hours.) A kilowatt is 1,000 watts.


How many amps does a HP motor use hooked to V pH Hz line?

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.


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.

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 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.

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 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 size breaker is needed for a 125 hp motor?

It depends on what the amperage of the motor is. The motors amperage depends on the voltage of the motor. The higher the voltage the motor operates on the lower the amperage. So unless the amperage from the motor's nameplate is stated an answer can not be given.Just remember that the feeder capacity to the motor has to be 125% of the motors full load amperage and the breaker protecting the conductors to the motor has to be rated at 250% of the motors FLA. This higher breaker size allows the motor to start without tripping a normal size breaker that is rated for the lower conductor size.


Is a one half HP motor sufficient to run a dehumidifier with 15 Amps and 115 Volts?

A 1/2 HP 115volt motor draws 9.8 amps. This is a nominal book amperage for a 1/2 HP motor, check the nameplate for an accurate value. A breaker, to protect this size motor, has to be rated at 250% of the motors full load amps. In this case a 25 amp breaker in needed. If using the actual nameplate amperage, multiply it by 250% to find the size of the breaker to use. If the motor used 230 volts as a supply a two pole 15 amp breaker would work.


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 the cable size for motor 15kw 440 volts connection?

The current draw is about 27 amps. A motor feeder has to be 125% of the motors full load amperage. 27 x 125% = 33 amps. A #8 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 40 amps.
