The amount of current the motor can be expected to draw under full load conditions. Also known as Nameplate Amps
ElectricityPowerTechnologyThe Finance and Administrative ServicesFull load amperes is the nameplate amperage rating of the motor when it is running at its designed horsepower and on the motors designed voltage. 746 watts = 1 HP. The FLA of a 1 HP motor at 240 volts would be W = amps x volts, Amps = Watts/Voltage. 746/240 = 3.1 amps full load. Overload the motor and the amps go higher, motor running at no load amps are lower than FLA.
