The pump is a submersible type around 100ft down. It is rated at 1.5 HP ~ 1.1 KW and is around 3 yes old. The manufacturer's spec sheet mentions a full load current of 9.2 A.

1.1KW/230 gives me a figure of 4.86A, or 6.88A.
The utility meter reports a PF 0.92

This is single phase device with the line voltage nominally at 230V 50 HZ. At times it may be as high as 250V. 

The meter mounted against the pump shows a \*\*constant \*\* 11.x 9.7 A after it is powered, which I fail to understand. I can understand a starting surge upto the rated load current but not 200%.

Why is this the case?
