How do you calculate hp from amps?

1 HP is 746 watts in principle. The power is in watts, and the power is the volts times the amps. For an AC motor the power is the volts times the amps times the power factor times a factor that depends on the power-conversion efficiency of the motor.


What horsepower os 5.1 amps?

Amps are not directly convertible to horse power, which is a measure of power. Power is current times voltage. Therefore on a 240 v supply, 5.1 amps equals 1224 watts. One horse power is 746 watts.


How many watts will a 1 horsepower 240 volt motor drawing 9 amps use?

Amps are not directly convertible to horse power, which is a measure of power. Power is current times voltage. Therefore on a 240 v supply, 9.2 amps equals 2208 watts. One horse power is 746 watts.


What is the difference between Full load Amps and Service Factor Amps on an electric motor?

Full load amps is the amperage at which the motor was designed to work at to achieve its rated horsepower. Service factor amps is the amount of a periodic overload at which a motor can operate without overload or damage. Continuous operation within the service factor amps will shorten the insulation and motor bearing life of the motor as the motor will be operating at a higher temperature than it was designed to.


How many amps does a one horse power motor draw?

depends what the source voltage isone horsepower equals to 746watts (assuming 100% efficiency)746 watts divided by voltage source equals current (amps)AnswerIn countries, such as the USA, where the horsepower is still used as a means of measuring power, it is always used to measure the output power of a motor.So, in order to determine the current drawn by the motor, you will first need to find out its input power. The input power is the output power divided by the machine's efficiency. Once you know its input power, then you can find its current by dividing the input power by the supply voltage. In practise, you will need to use a wattmeter to determine its input power.

How many amps does a five horse power motor draw?

It depends on the voltage-- I think at 110v it's 4 amps per hp


Can 36 volts of car battery power a 1hp electric motor?

Depends on the ratings(volts, amps, etc.) Definitely not an AC motor.


How much full load ampere in 2 horse power compressor?

It depends on the voltage of the compressor. Two horse power (electric) is 1492 watts, but watts are volts times amps, so you need to know the voltage. Since the motor is an inductive load, you will also need to know the power factor, so as to compensate for true vs apparent power.

How much horsepower in 2.6 amps?

Amps are not directly convertible to horse power, which is a measure of power. Power is current times voltage. Therefore on a 240 v supply, 2.6 amps equals 624 watts. One horse power is 746 watts.

How many amperes use an electric heater?

The electric heater will have power rated in Watts. The Amps it will draw depends on the voltage system you are using. Can be calculated by formula I (Amps) = P / V In the USA with 110V system a 2400W heater will draw 2400 Watts / 110 Volts = 21.8 Amps In Australia with a 230 V system a 2400W heater will draw 2400 Watts / 230 Volts = 10.4 Amps


How much power is developed by an electric motor that draws a current of 4 A when its operated at 240V?

P = I x V Power = volts x amps 240 x 4 = 560 watts. This is how much power will be consumed by the motor. The actual power produced at the shaft, will vary on type and efficiency of the motor.


How many watts will a 1 horsepower 240 volt motor drawing 9 amps use?
