How many starting amps does it draw.

I have the M98, 1/2 HP version of this pump. The cord uses 16 gauge wire. In a pinch I have run it (to drain holes) on a 100', 14 gauge extension cord and it ran fine all day long. I am NOT suggesting doing any sort of permanent installation using an extension cord, but these things are built TOUGH and you really don't need too much electrical overkill. Besides, if it has a plugged cord it doesn't require a dedicated circuit, although that might be a smart idea. My crawl space sumps ARE on dedicated circuits.

I did not have a meter to measure the start amperage, however, pump was connected to a builder installed 20 amp curcuit that supplies my sump pump and water softener, and there have been no instances of a thrown breaker since pump installed or with old pump.

About 6 amps is average for a 1/3 hp motor operating at 120 volt. Its a good idea to have it on a dedicated circuit or a circuit thats " known" not to have alot of load on it.

Actually #12 wire should be used with a 20Amp breaker. NEC only requires #14 to be used with a 15 amp circuit breaker. So #14 wire should be sufficient

I didn't but its not a bad idea. how big?no less then 50amps with reset, it depends on how much you draw i don't think you need a relay

It is limited to 30 amps. You dont get more amp capacity by lowering the voltage. FYI, mine was visibly broken upon delivery. It came in a padded envelope, which wasnt nearly protective enough. I sent it back for refund.

I don't know how many amps it draws. It is not listed in the specs. I cannot find the paperwork that came with it. I have not hard wired it in yet. I have it temporarily plugged into a heavy duty extension cord on a 30 amp outlet. It comes with a heavy duty cord , with a ground fault plug. When I hard wire it, it will be on a 20 amp circuit.

*15 amps/1800 watts maximum draw, do the math dormer. Add up all your lighting or whatever!

in reality it draws about 30 watts dc or about 2 1/2 amps dc i turn it off when not using it.....

I have not used it in a while. As I recall, 2 amps to get it started 5 amps to make it run nice

This motor uses not more than 3 amps normal operation at full speed. At start up it can draw up to 10 amps. I rec to use at leat 12 amps power supply for an on-off operation.

max. amps on 1 cycle is (9.46) at peak draw for about 1/4 second and then lowers to approx. 2 amps avg. 1 cycle last about 2 seconds Hopes this helps. JM

In theory, 11.8 amps. I wouldn't use it for anything much over 8 or 9 amps - that gives you almost a 1000 watts of power. Remember, 1000 watts means you will be drawing over 80 amps from your battery!

They require a minimum on 10amps for starting. In general it runs at a max of 8 amps.

All I have is a hand held meter with a needle. It displays 2.1 amps on start up. I am using an Active Air variable speed controller with mine. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003URBQ1M/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

It limits. I have a device that pulls to much and it just stays warm, while only drawing max of 6 watts from the wall. I calculated this at 1.17 amp, which is as advertised. Used it a couple days at max (waiting for the 3 amp unit to arrive) and it didn't crap out.

Inverters do not have High Start-Up Amps. They start at zero speed and catch up as needed. So you do not need to worry about this issue.

The conventional wisdom is three times the rated amperage, or in this case 45 amps. That's only momentary, but the motor starts each time you split a log and returns passively unpowered.

On my application, system voltage at 14.0, start up on low speed draws 1.3 amps with a 1.0 amp running current draw, wattage would be 14 running. Start up on high speed draws 2.5 amps with a running current of 1.9 amps, wattage would be 26.6 running. (Wattage equals volts times amps) Hope this helps, Donovan

60 amp fuse.. So at full volume it draws at least 30 to 60 amps.. I'm about to get a second one as it does bump for Da price
