Hi folks,
I have a pentair 0.5HP Pump and motor p/n 340036
The motor is currently drawing ~6A @230V
I purchased a variable speed motor centurion 1.65HP to replace existing motor - hoping to save some energy. However this motor can take 10A when running full speed.
I am wondering how many amps will the Centurion motor 1.65HP draw when running full speed but with an impeller rated for 1/2HP.
I am unsure if I can really achieve significant savings by replacing the motor
Thanks for hints.
