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.
