How many amps does a 2HP motor draw on start up?

Answer 1

The rule of thumb for fusing the motor is 300% of the full load amps. To answer this question a voltage value for the motor is needed.

That would depend on the type of electricity used and the type of motor. The answer will be different for DC, single phase AC, two phase AC, and three phase.

There are many types of motors as well: split-phase, brush less, squirrel cage, synchronous, etc. Each one has different characteristics.

Answer 2

The amperage draw at motor start up will be roughly 300% of the FLA (Full Load Amperage) of the nameplate rating.

Answer 3

if this motor is single phase ampere is 16.95 ampere .

if this motor isa 3 pH ampere is 7 ampere . ( at normal operation )

Answer 4

To answer this question you need to know the source voltage.

Answer 5

Smaller rating electrical motors usually takes 3 to 4 times the full load current at the time of starting for fraction of seconds.

Answer 6

To answer this question the voltage must be given. I = W/E. Amps = Watts / Voltage.

Answer 7

To answer this question the voltage of the motor must be given. The rule of thumb is 300% of the full load amperage.
