Power = Voltage x Current
So Power = 220V x 60A = 13.2 kw/h
So over 8 hours, you will use 105.6 kwh

George is the most correct of the bunch, however:
220 volts X 60 amps = 13,200 watts.
1 Kilowatt = 1000 watts.
13,200 Watts divided by 1000 watts = 13.2 Kilowatts
Thus, 13.2 Kilowatts X 8 hours = 105.6 Kilowatt Hours

220 volts X 60 amps = 13,200 watts.
1 Kilowatt= 1000 watts.
Thus 13,200 divided by 1000 watts = 13.2 KWH
13.2 KWH (kilowat per hour) X 8 hours = 105.6 Kilowatts Total.

The calcs shown are correct but I question 60amps being pulled. Is 60amp the max start load or run load. It is more accurate to calculate this at a duty cycle or run load. For instance, my 7 ton central air compressor pulls 39 amps at start but then runs on 17 amps. Big difference in calculation...... You might want to check.
Good luck.

220 x 60 x 8 / 1000 = kwh?

assistance on a thanks to ascertain the intake is to degree it. you won't be able to realistically calculate intake from the motor rankings. that is because the rankings have little relationship between the mechanical load actual imposed on the motor. the guy who designed the grain bin anticipated that the mechanical load could be X. to make certain that he were given it acceptable, he further a margin to cover his uncertainties (aka, a fudge aspect). Then, he went to a table of vehicles and picked a motor that had a mechanical score that handed (calculated score + margin). vehicles are available in standard horsepower rankings, so he had to confirm on the subsequent higher motor. because the certainly mechanical load on the shaft of the motor will hence be decrease than the certainly score of the motor, the certainly electric powered call for of the motor will also be decrease than the rated electric powered call for.

(Volts times Amps times hours) / 1000.
But with a motor load, you have to consider power factor as well.
