    Over current on motor with no load?

    Thanks for all the answers. We rechecked some of our calcs and realized that the flow we were getting from the fan was high enough to acount for the amps being pulled. Thanks again for all the answers.

    Over current on motor with no load?

    I have a 40hp 3ph motor that is drawing currents at low to no load that are higher than the FLA rating for the motor. The motor is attached to a centrifugal fan. From my understanding this is backwards. Can anyone shed some light on the for me? Is the motor wired wrong perhaps?
