Both statements are true. But the idling current draw of the bigger
motor is nothing to worry about.

Hi,

As a complete novice in regards to electrical matters, maybe one of you guys
can help me with a question.

I have access to a higher hp motor than needed for a particular task and am
wondering - will it draw current relative to the load on the motor or will it
always draw more than the smaller motor independant of the task asked of it?

Regards,


Leigh
