The conversion from amps, a measure of electric current, to horsepower, a measure of power output by a motor, can be done using a fairly simple formula. Thus, horsepower is equal to the current in amps times the voltage in volts times the efficiency times the power factor, divided by 746.

What is 1.5 HP in amps?

For example a 1.5 HP Baldor motor turning 3450 rpm draws 13.4 amps on 120 volt service.

How many amps does a 5 hp motor use?

Example: A 5 HP motor at 230V, 3PH is12. 4 amps.

How do I convert kW to amps?

AC three phase kilowatts to amps calculation formula
I = 1000 × P / (√3 × PF × VL-L )amps = 1000 × kilowatts / (√3 × PF × volts)A = 1000 × kW / (√3 × PF × V)I = 1000 × 0.33kW / (√3 × 0.8 × 110V) = 2.165A.
