The current should be listed on the motor nameplate as FLC or FLA (full load current/full load amps). Starting current is listed as LRC (locked rotor current). However, to calculate current for any load, divide watts by voltage. 1 hp = 746 watts 85 hp = 63410 watts 63410 watts / 208volts = 304.85 amps 63410 watts / 480 volts = 132.10 amps

What is the amperage of a 20 HP 240v single phase motor?

Typically single phase motors go up to 10hp. Wouldn't be very efficient at about 100 amps. A 20hp 3 phase motor at 230v pulls 52 amps. The 10hp single phase 230v pulls 50 amps.


Why doesn't a shunt motor operate on a single phase AC supply?

Shunt motors do operate on single phase AC. There are millions, if not billions of them worldwide running right now.Make certain your voltage supply is correct for your motor. Also, make certain you're providing the proper amperage. Make sure it's not a three phase motor. (three phase motors won't operate on single phase power.) If your supply voltage and amp supply is correct and the motor still doesn't run, you've got a bad motor.


What is the difference between a one phase and a three phase motor. And if a three phase motor is given a single phase supply will it run or not?

The difference between a single phase and a three phase motor is the amount of power conductors that feed the device. As to the other part of the question a three phase motor will not start or run on single phase. The phase angles on three phase are 120 degrees apart on a single phase system they are 180 degrees apart.

What is the full load running current of a 3hp 208volt single phase continuous duty ac motor?

It would probably be 20-30 amps. <<>> The electrical code book states a value of 18.7amps for a 3HP 208 volt motor. If the nameplate data is available it is always best to use it when calculating wire size and overload protection for the motor.

How do you check single phase motor winding?

Single phase motor winding is often checked just by listening to the noise that the motor is making. An experienced person can tell if the motor is working at single phase or double phase.


What amperage will a range with a rating of 12.9 kw draw?

This depends on what voltage the range is rated for and if it is single phase or three phase. At 220 volts single phase it is about 60 amps, 240 v single phase , 53 amps and at 480 v three phase about 15 amps.


Is 3 phase motor run on 1 phase supply?

No. That would be a single phase motor.

How do you use a one phase motor in place of a three phase motor?

To use a single-phase motor in place of a three-phase motor, you would typically need a phase converter to convert the single-phase power supply into three-phase power. Alternatively, you can replace the entire motor with a single-phase motor that has similar specifications as the three-phase motor. It's important to consult with an electrician or engineer to ensure compatibility and safety.


How do you convert a 0.37kw 4 pole 3 phase motor to single phase?

The motor cannot be altered to work on single phase power. You will either have to put in a new single phase motor or use a phase convertor box. Do a google search for phase convertor - you will find plenty.

Can a single phase motor be wired to a three phase soft start?

No, a single phase motor cannot be directly connected to a three phase soft start. A single phase motor requires a single phase power supply, while a three phase soft start is designed for three phase motors. Using the correct soft start for the motor type is essential for proper operation and protection of the equipment.

You have one hp three phase motor where as available power supply is only single phase how can you run this motor?

You will need to install a phase converter or change the motor to single phase. You can find a licensed electrician at www.contraxtor.com
