3 amps on 120 volts is almost 1/2 hp. To be exact 0.48 hp, that's why I said almost 0.5 hp or 1/2 hp.
So say you are thinking of buying a 3 amp grinder or table top sander and you want to know about how many HP (Horse Power) it is, the answer is 120 volts X 3 amps = 360 X 0.00134 = 0.4824 HP which is almost a 1/2 HP
you can do the math from there if its a 6 amp motor then its almost a 1 HP motor or to be exact 0.4824 X 2 = 0.9648 also almost 1 HP. This is if you are on 120 volts. If you are on 110 or 125 volts its about the same.

How many Amps for 3 horsepower at 208 volts?
For a single phase 3 HP motor at 208 volts the amperage is 18.7 amps. For a three phase 3 HP motor at 208 volts the amperage is 10.5 amps. This figure is derived at by taking the full load amps at 230 volts and adding 10%. As the voltage goes down the amperage goes up. For 200 volt motors 15% is added to the FLA of a 230 volt motor.

Looking for a basic standard type answer to how many circuit breaker amps are needed per motor horsepower on 3 phase?
The main breaker is not based on the HP of the motor it is based on the FLA of the motor. Many different motors have different characteristics and all of the different motors have different amperages Once you have the amperage of the motor the breaker is 250% times the FLA of the motor.
