You may want to run each motor on a separate circuit and have a breaker for each one.
Simple formula for breaker size is Watts/Voltage = Amps of current. This will be the minimum Amp circuit breaker needed for the motor.
You also need to be sure that all your wiring is of sufficient size to carry the required amp load.
Always best to leave this to a qualified Electrician.
With motors of that size you are going to need some heavy duty dedicated circuits. Some running 3 phase, 400V to power elect motors of that size.

To add what was already explained the breaker protects the wiring. So the proper size wiring is very important and you can look up voltage and amp wire size in AC 43.13-1B. Each motor should be seperate as stated, but could run off a common bus.
