depending on 1phase or 3phase voltage motor , the amphere requirement is found out

for 3phase AC motor use this formula: (HP x 746)/(1.73 x E x Eff x PF)

for 1phase AC motor : (HP x 746) / (E x Eff x PF)

How many amps does a 50 horse power electric motor use?

Need to know the voltage of the motor.


How many ampere in one hp?

There are 746 watts in 1 HP. Watts = amps x volts. It depends on the voltage rating of the motor. Amps = 746/volts = ? need voltage.


For 225 kw motor what is the amps star and delte and what is the cable size required?

Need to know what the voltage of the motor is.


What size of circuit breaker do you use for 25amperes induction motor?

Read the specification plate on the motor to determine the amount of current that the motor uses, as well as the voltage and phase. Most likely, it will be a 3 phase motor, so you can't simply connect it to your house wiring, but without sufficient information, it is impossible to tell you all of the specifics. <<>> The code book rates the amperage of a three phase 40 HP motor by different voltages. at 200 volts - 120 amps, 230 volts - 104 amps, 460 volts - 52 amps and 575 volts - 52 amps. A breaker for a motor has to be sized to 250% of the motors full load amps. Also the wire size for a motor has to be 125% of the motor full load amps.


How many amps does 1 phase 220volt 7.5 HP draw?

Look at the motor nameplate and it shoud have the amp draw on it. If the nameplate is missing, then the amp draw depends on what type of motor it is. The basic calculation to get you in the ball park would be as follows: 1 HP = 0.75 KW 7.5 HP = 5.63 KW Assume the efficiency of the motor is 80%, then the power supplied will need to be 5.63/0.8 = 7.04 KW amp draw = 7040/220 = 32 amps <<>> For calculation purposes the electrical code book states that a 7.5 HP motor draws 40 amps.
