The formula to convert amps to horsepower is:
\[ \text{Horsepower (HP)} = \frac{\text{Current (Amps)} \times \text{Voltage (Volts)} \times \text{Efficiency} \times \text{Power Factor}}{746} \]
The amp to horsepower conversion is a measure of the power output of an electric motor. It is calculated by multiplying the current in amps by the voltage, efficiency, and power factor, and then dividing by 746. This helps in understanding the motor's power output.
Consider a motor with a current of 10 amps, voltage of 120 volts, efficiency of 90%, and power factor of 1:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{Horsepower (HP)} = \frac{10 \times 120 \times 0.9 \times 1}{746} = 1.45 \text{ HP} \]
This means the motor has a horsepower of 1.45 HP.
