Assuming that the motor is single phase 3 HP operating on 120 volts. A couple of things come into play on this installation. One it is a motor load. Code states that motor loads have to have feeders rated at 125% of the motors full load amps (FLA). The other condition is breaker sizing.
With a motor amperage of 33 amps and using a feeder of 125% means 33 x 125% or 1.25 = 41.25 amps for wire sizing.
A #10 copper wire with an insulation rating of 60, 75, or 90 degrees C is rated at 30 amps, this does not fall within the required wire size.
A #8 copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps, this falls within the required wire size.
Breaker sizing is taken from the motors FLA. For a motor with 34 amps full load, a 110 amp non time delay fuse, 60 amp time delay "D" fuse or a 70 amp breaker is required to meet code regulations. The reason for over sizing the breaker or fuses is to overcome the motor high current, which can rise to 300% of the motor's FLA, on start up.
What else can I help you with?
What is the amp rating for a 3 wire?
The amperage rating of any wire or conductor is determined by its size or gauge. It has nothing to do with whether it is a two, three or four conductor wire. For example, in basic residential wiring, a 14 gauge wire is rated at 15 amps, a 12 gauge wire is rated at 20 amps, a # 10 is rated for 30A and so forth.
