The formula to calculate the current in amps (A) from horsepower (HP) is:
\[ A = \frac{HP \times 746}{V \times n \times PF} \]
Where:
HP to amps is the conversion from the standard unit of mechanical power to electrical power in amps.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the current in amps (A):
\[ A = \frac{5 \times 746}{230 \times 0.9 \times 0.8} \approx 22.52 \text{ A} \]
The current is approximately 22.52 amps.
