It depends on the voltage of the motor, and whether it is single-phase or 3-phase. A 120 VAC 2HP single phase motor draws almost 20 amps, a 240 VAC single-phase 2HP motor draws about 10 amps. A 480 VAC 2HP three-phase motor only draws about 6 amps.

3Hp is equivilant to 2.23Kw so

2230w=230v*I*Effecieny(usually 85%)

2230/.85=230v*I

Around 11Amperes. 11A

About 2.25 Amps.


How many amps does a 1.0hp pool pump pull?

One horsepower is equivalent to 746 watts. So if the motor is wired for 220 volts the current consumed is 3.39 amps. (watts divided by voltage = current) so? the label says 7.6 amps for a 1hp with a SF of 1.25 at 240 volts. 9.6 for a 1.5 hp .this is your typical pool pump motor, what motor are you getting data from ?


How much does a basic home freezer pull in amps?

10 to 12 amps at 110 volts, as a surge when the motor first starts up, then about half that during the rest of the cycle.


How many amps does a half horse power motor draw at 220 Volts?

to calculate: 1hp=745W 3hp=745*3=2.2Kw assuming a 3 phase motor power is V*I*pf*the square root of 3 I would gues a PF of 0.8 if its a resonable motor which gives about 7.2 amps per phase. if the PF is bad say .65 it could pull up to 9 amps in short, too little information to give you the actual answer.


How many amps does 3000 watts pull?

Using the equation Volts X Amps = Watts, you can take 3000 watts / Volts to get your answer: 3000W/240V = 12.5A or 3000W/120V = 25A So, at 240 volts you will use 12.5 amps for 3000 watts of power. Or at 120 volts you will use 25 watts.

How much amps 220volt2 horsepower pump pull?

One HP is equal to 746 watts. 2 x 746 = 1492 watts. The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. The most accurate amperage is found on the nameplate as this is established by the motor's manufacturer.


How many amps does 6000 watts pull?

There are zero amps in 6600 watts. Watts are the product of amps times volts. W = A x V. To find amperage use the following equation, A = W/V, so as you can see a voltage value is needed in the equation to result in an amperage.
