We are about to run wire for some preassembled control panels for a motor and pump we are confused. The motor is a 10 hp, 480 volt. Which would only be 14 amps. However the control panel has a sticker on the front saying the motor is 2 amps. It also calls for 60 amps even though the control circuit is only 5 amps. Where are they getting these numbers from? How do I determine my wire size?
Here are some pictures of the motor name plate and the sticker on the panel
