Single Phase Motor and amps
I came across this motor on FB market place and unfortunately missed out. I have a couple of questions for future reference:
1) Is it always the case, the higher the voltage the higher the amps? It seems with newer motors as soon as you jump up to 4HP the amps it draws is over 15amps which requires a larger Earth terminal on the plug.
2) This is a single phase. It looks like you can wire it to use 480 volts and therefor drops the amps. Can you run this motor off a normal single phase outlet?
kW: 3.7
Amps: 22.0/11.0
RPM: 1445
Volt: 240/480
Phase: 1
