1 horsepower is equal to 0.7456 kWatts, therefore 1.1184 kWatts will be the power consumption of that motor.
The current draw depends on the voltage, simply use the P=UxI or I=P/U formulas to figure out the current draw (P=1118.4 Watts).
some voltages:
12Vdc draw 93.2Amps
24Vdc draws 46.6Amps
110Vdc draws 10.17Amps
230Vdc draws 4.86Amps

How many amps does a 15 hp motor draw?
To answer this question the voltage of the motor must be stated.
How much current will a 15 hp single phase 220 volt fan motor draw?
The wiring should allow for 115 amps.
How many amps would it take to kick a 15 amp breaker with 7 ohms resistance on a 277 volt circuit?
A 15 amp circuit breaker should trip at 15 amps regardless of the load voltages or impedances. If you have 277 volts and 7 ohms, the current would be 39.5 amps and a 15 amp circuit breaker should trip.
What is the amperage of a 400 HP 4160 volt 3 phase motor?
The formula you are looking for is I = kW x 1000/1.73 x E x pf. I = 1.5 x 1000 = 1500. 1500/1.73 x 400 x .86 = 1500/595 = 2.5 amps. A standard motor's efficiency between 5 to 100 HP is .84 to .91. A standard motor's power factor between 10 to 100 HP is .86 to .92. A feeder for a motor has to be rated at 125% of the motors full load amps 2.5 x 125% = 3.1 amps A #14 copper conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 15 amps.
What size wire for a 3 phase 5 hp 460 volt motor?
At 600 volts the rule of thumb is one amp per horsepower. So a 20 HP motor would need 20 amp wire. The code book states that a 20 HP motor at 575 volts draws 22 amps. The conductor for a motor has to be 125% rating of the motors FLA (full load amps). 22 x 125% = 27.5 amps. A #10 copper conductor with a insulation factor of 60,75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 30 amps.
