Calculating motor starting load involves figuring out the extra current needed when a motor kicks on. That initial surge can be several times higher than its running load, so I usually check the motor's locked-rotor amperage and apply a multiplier based on the type of load it's driving, like a pump or conveyor. Getting it wrong means tripped breakers or undersized wiring.
