    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?
