Amp to Horsepower Calculator

Calculate Horsepower from Amps







Formula

The formula to convert amps to horsepower is:

\[ \text{Horsepower (HP)} = \frac{\text{Current (Amps)} \times \text{Voltage (Volts)} \times \text{Efficiency} \times \text{Power Factor}}{746} \]

What is Amp to Horsepower Conversion?

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.

Example Calculation

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.
