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.

How many amps does a one horse power motor draw?

depends what the source voltage isone horsepower equals to 746watts (assuming 100% efficiency)746 watts divided by voltage source equals current (amps)AnswerIn countries, such as the USA, where the horsepower is still used as a means of measuring power, it is always used to measure the output power of a motor.So, in order to determine the current drawn by the motor, you will first need to find out its input power. The input power is the output power divided by the machine's efficiency. Once you know its input power, then you can find its current by dividing the input power by the supply voltage. In practise, you will need to use a wattmeter to determine its input power.


What amp do you need for 230 volt?

Watts is a unit power and it is found muliplying Volts x Amperes, so how many amps to 230 watts depends on the voltage. If it is line voltage 120 V then 230 divided by 120 the result is a little less than 2 Amps RomeoTango


What is the recommended maximum safe voltage for outdoor uses in Europe?

In Norway it is 230 Volts, 16-25 amp, 60 Hz, grounded In rest of Europe it is 110 Volts 10-15 amps, 50 Hz, probably grounded too.


How many amps does a 3 phase 20 hp motor use?

30 HP at 480 (3 Phase) - 746 multiplied by 30 = 22380 22380 divided by 480 (3 Phase) = 46.5 46.5 divided by 1.73 = 29.5AMPS Motor speed and efficiency may change the actual result. Always refer to the name plate data


Calculate the power loss when the voltage is 120 volts and has a resistance of 230 ohms?

By Ohm's law, 120 volts across 230 ohms is 0.522 amps. By the power law, that translates to 62.6 watts. You ask about power loss. In order to answer that, you need to provide more information, such as some change in configuration, or some other component. Please review and restate your question.

Amps to watts?

Watts = Amps x Volts Amps = Watts / Volts you only need to know two of the three to work out the other so 230 volts at 10 amps gives 2300 Watts (2.3 kW) 2.3kW at 230 volts draws 10 Amps


What current flows through a 920 watt hairdryer if the voltage is 230 volts?

What is the resistance of the circuit if the voltage is 230 volts and the current flowing is 5 amps?

The resistance of the circuit will be 46 ohms


How many watts equals one AMP at 400 volts?

This question cannot be answered without knowing the voltage. Watts=Volts x Amps In the United States mains voltage (what you get in your house) is 120 Volts, so 120 x 400 = 48,000 Watts In Europe mains voltage is 230 Volts, so 230 x 400 = 92,000 Watts


How many watts required to get 230 volts from generator?

There are no watts to generate volts!! There is a relation that is watts = volts * Amps Generators are set up to generate a specific voltage regardless or watts or amps capacity it has.

Which type of voltage is 230 volt?

The classification of 230 volts is in the low voltage range.


How many amps are in 1900 watts at 110 volts?

Depends on the supply voltage. For UK 230 Volts, 1800 Watts would mean the current drawn was 7.83 Amps.Watts=Volts x Amps, so Watts divided by Volts gives the current in amps.


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 is a tosters power used or current drawn?

Depends on the model, usually there is a information plate on the device showing power consumption in watts, The theoretical current flow can be estimated from : I (current - amps) = Power (watts) / Voltage (volts). > So if you have a 1000 watt toaster @ 230 volts supply, the current in amps = 1000 / 230 = 4.35 amps.
