    Current drawn by motor
    If the name plate details shows the current drawn by a particular 3 phase motor is 30 ampere, is that mean the ammeters connected to each phases will show 30 ampere reading?

    If motor is Delta connected; yes, all three meters will show current may not be exactly 30 amps. If motor is Star connected the current would be 30 / 1.732 nearly shown by all three meters.
