How many amps does a 5hp motor use?
Example: A 5 HP motor at 230V, 3PH is12. 4 amps.
How many amps does a submersible well pump use?
A 1 HP submersible pump engine will draw a 3.2-amper current if it is a single-phase motor at 230 volts of voltage. If it is a three-phase motor at 440 volts, it will draw a maximum 1.7-amper current.
How many amps does a 3 hp submersible pump draw?
Re: Amp draw on a 3/4HP pump Running amps will be 6 to 8 amps.
How many amps does a 5 hp motor draw at 480 volts?
AC Motor Full Load Amperes
| HP | 200 Volts | 440-480 Volts |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 11 | 4.8 |
| 5 | 17.5 | 7.6 |
| 7.5 | 25.3 | 11 |
| 10 | 32.2 | 14 |
What size breaker do I need for a 5 hp compressor?
If 20 or less, use 25 amp breaker. If 24 or less, use a 30 amp breaker. The code want to see a breaker at constant load of 80\% maximum of breaker size. A true 5hp expect 20–23 amps.
What size breaker do I need for a well pump?
Most submersible well pumps are 230 volts and require a 2 pole circuit breaker (2 individual circuit breakers connected together).
How do I know what AMP my well pump is?
Divide the wattage by the voltage to find the current. For example, if the pump wattage is 2,200 watts, and the voltage is 110 volts, the current is 2,200 /110 = 20 Amps. This is the value of the amps drawn by the well pump.
How many amps does a 3/4 HP pump draw?
AMP DRAW BASED ON HORSEPOWER
| HP | 1 Phase Amps | 3 Phase Amps |
|---|---|---|
| 115 volt | 208 volt | |
| 1/2 | 9.8 | 2.4 |
| 3/4 | 13.8 | 3.5 |
| 1 | 16 | 4.6 |
How many amps does a 12 volt water pump draw?
Typically a 12 volt water pumps draws 5.5 amps of current. An RV pump having a water flow rate of 3 GPM and a pressure of 55 PSI, uses 7.5 amps of electricity.
How many amps does a 230V submersible pump draw?
A 230v 1.5 HP submersible pump is metering about 11.4 amps per leg. The motor nameplate states running current to be 10.6A. Metered starting amperage only increases about 1A above running amperage. Herein, how many amps does a 1/2 HP well pump draw?
How many amps does a metered well pump draw?
Metered starting amperage only increases about 1A above running amperage. Herein, how many amps does a 1/2 HP well pump draw? Re: 1/2 hp well pump The 1/2 HP motor under full load may go as high as 12.4 Amps, unless the specifications declare that is the maximum starting current.
What do submersible and above ground pumps have on them?
Submersible and above ground pumps have a label on them. This label has information like how many horsepower or kilowatts the motor is rated for, how many amps the motor is expected to use and the voltage that the pump needs to run properly.
What size breaker do I need to run a well pump?
You will need a breaker that is double the amps that correspond to the HP of your motor. This means that a 1HP pump will need an 18 amp breaker to be used safely. Will a 3000 watt generator run a well pump?
