This document contains tables listing the full load current (FLC) in amps for single phase and three phase electric motors of varying horsepower or kW ratings. The tables provide the FLC for motors running on different standard line voltages of 110V, 220V, 240V, 380V, 415V and 550V. The document notes that the tables are intended as a guide for selecting control gear for AC motors, and that actual motor FLC should be determined from each individual motor rating plate where possible, as variations can occur.

AC Motors - full load current tables (1450rpm approx.) (provided as a guide to the selection of suitable MEM control gear).
The tables are based on motors of approximately 1450rpm of average efficiency and power factor. Motors of higher speed usually take a
lower current than that shown in the table; while motors of lower speed usually take higher current. Wide variations from these figures
can arise, especially on single phase motors, and engineers should, whenever possible, determine the actual f.l.c from the motor rating plate
in each case.
