5hp, 3 phase motor, 20fla? seems like 7.5hp

[Ryan Brucks]

Hey guys,

I was curious about the 5hp rating on the 3 phase version. The instruction manual only lists the FLA for the single phase version, but lists it at 20.8amps.

I was looking at the Leeson line, here:

And the 20.8a figure actually puts this motor in the 7.5hp range for the 3 phase motors. But it's correct for the single phase range.

Am I looking at the wrong figure for the 3 phase version? What's the real draw to be expected?

Seems like either the 3 phase version only draws 13 amps, or they are actually using a 7.5a motor.

Thanks!
Ryan

Found out from Cathy from customer service that the 3 phase motor FLA is 12.2.
