What is the difference between Full load Amps and Service Factor Amps on an electric motor?

Full load amps is the amperage at which the motor was designed to work at to achieve its rated horsepower. Service factor amps is the amount of a periodic overload at which a motor can operate without overload or damage. Continuous operation within the service factor amps will shorten the insulation and motor bearing life of the motor as the motor will be operating at a higher temperature than it was designed to.

What is the equivalent in horsepower of 18 volts?

The question doesn't make sense. 18V is a measure of potential difference while horsepower is a measure of power. If you find out the current, then you can calculate the power and compare the two quantities. Power (in watts) = Voltage (in volts) * Current (in amps) and 1 hp = 746 Watts so 18V * current (in amps) / 746 = power in horsepower. (this assumes the 18V is DC)
