Best Answer

yes

for continuous duty it must be at least 10% larger than the normal load

they usually get you on water heaters that take 28 amps need to put those on a 40A with #8 wire not good on the 30A

now if a motor rated fuse and nothing else will ever be on the circuit you can probably be correct with a 17 amp fuse and that is suitable for all the motor overload and locked rotor protection

and it will provide 80 amps for starting

Yes, using a motor that requires 17 amps on a 20 amp fuse is not recommended as it doesn't provide enough margin for safety. It's generally recommended to have a fuse with a rating higher than the maximum amperage the motor draws to prevent blowing the fuse under normal operating conditions.

What size of circuit breaker do you use for 25amperes induction motor?

Read the specification plate on the motor to determine the amount of current that the motor uses, as well as the voltage and phase. Most likely, it will be a 3 phase motor, so you can't simply connect it to your house wiring, but without sufficient information, it is impossible to tell you all of the specifics. <<>> The code book rates the amperage of a three phase 40 HP motor by different voltages. at 200 volts - 120 amps, 230 volts - 104 amps, 460 volts - 52 amps and 575 volts - 52 amps. A breaker for a motor has to be sized to 250% of the motors full load amps. Also the wire size for a motor has to be 125% of the motor full load amps.


How many amps does a garage door motor use?

A typical garage door motor uses about 3-5 amps while operating. This may vary depending on the specific model and size of the motor. It's important to check the motor's specifications for precise information.

How many amps does a 1998 ford fuel pump use?

The factory pump uses 6 to 9 amps depending on the condition of the pump. A worn pump uses more power of course. I don't know what problems if any you are having but if you blow a 10amp fuse then change the fuel filter, a pluged filter will make your pump work much harder. Still blows? Then time for a new pump. Aftermarket pumps such as a Walbro pulls almost 15 amps.

How many amps does a 12 volt boat trolling motor use per hour?

The amperage drawn by a trolling motor will depend on the specific model and its power rating. To calculate the amperage per hour, you would need to know the wattage of the motor. You can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts.

What volt circuit is needed for an 8.5 amp electric motor that uses 550 watts in 1 hour?

To calculate the voltage needed for the electric motor, use the formula Power = Voltage x Current. Given the power (550 watts) and current (8.5 amps), rearrange the formula to solve for voltage: Voltage = Power / Current. Plugging in the values, the voltage required for the motor would be approximately 64.7 volts.


How many amps does a 3 phase 25 hp motor use?

it uses 45A at 415V in pakistan and starting current might be near 60A. <<>> The equation you are looking for is, Amperage when horsepower is shown; HP x 746/1.73 x V x %eff x pf. As you can see that an answer can not be given without the voltage of the motor being stated. Once you have the voltage use the formula. Use .89.5 for the % eff of a standard 25 HP motor and .89 for the power factor of a standard 25 HP motor. Using the above answer's voltage, the motors amperage equals 32 amps. A motors starting current can reach 300% on start up. The starting current can reach 96 amps instantaneous until the motor amperage drops to its run amperage.
