The formula to calculate the current in amps (A) from horsepower (HP) is:
A=HP×746V×n×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=5×746230×0.9×0.8≈22.52 A
The current is approximately 22.52 amps.
