What HP and voltage? If you know the efficiency and power factor ratings you could use (HPx746)\(Voltagex1.73xEfficiencyxPF). Table 430.250 from the NEC will also give you a rating.

it is usually assumed that the power factor and efficiency of a three phase motor are 0.8 and 0.85 respectively.
I hope it helps
