it is as simple as this
know your volt (110, 220 ..)
know your amp
from the manufacture sticker usually on the back of the motor
and your load in watts = volt x amp
so if you are using a 1.5 hp motor that is amp rated = 7.0 at 220 v
then your watt = 220 x7 = 1540 watt = 1.54 kw
hope that will help

How many people still use DC electricity?
If you are talking about DC power line electricity, it is no longer used in homes or industry however many electric rail systems (e.g. trolley, highspeed trains) use DC electricity as DC motors have several advantages for motive power compared to AC motors. A few very long transmission power lines use DC electricity, but the DC is converted back to AC electricity before being distributed to customers. Certain industries (e.g. electroplating, aluminum refining) use DC internally, but they use large rectifiers to convert 3-phase AC to DC electricity when it enters the plant.If you are talking about electronic equipment (e.g. radios, computers, cell phones) these usually contain batteries. Everyone using battery powered electronics (or lighting, toys, cars, UPSs, etc.) uses DC electricity, because that is the way batteries provide electricity.Nearly everyone uses DC electricity, in battery powered devices.
Which motor is used in electric train and traction?
An electric train uses electric motors. Modern trains have many motors, they are mounted on the axles, one motor per axle. Some axles will be powered and have motors on them, some will not.
What are the uses of an AC motor?
Most of the Industry uses AC motors only.
Is watching a television current or static electricity?
The operation of the television, as all electronics, involves electric currents. If your TV uses a CRT display as it operates it happens to build a large static electric field on its face, as a side effect of that operation.
Is there any example for electric motors?
You probably have one in your computer - any spinning disk uses a motor to spin (hard drives, DVD/CD drives, Floppy drives, etc.). If you have a phone that has that can vibrate, it has a small motor (the motor's rotor, or the center part that spins, has a small weight on it that is off-center - this is what causes the vibrations). Most fans are electric motors (air conditioning/heating fan in your car, etc.).
Who uses hydro power and for what purposes?
everyone that can afford it. And you can use it for electricity, electric motors, electric heat
Who uses hydro-power and for what purposes?

How does creating an electric car produce electricity?
It doesn't, an electric car uses electricity
Would magnets work if there was no gravity?
Certainly. Electric motors contain magnets, and NASA uses electric motors on space vehicles.
How much electricity does electric bulb uses?
The quantity of power consumed by a light bulb is dependant on the wattage of the bulb.
What electric motor does an electric car use?
A electric car uses either a DC or AC motor. Typically they use DC motors.
What sea animal uses electricity as a weapon?
Electric eel.
Can electric motors be operated by using biodegradable fuel?
Electric motors use batteries not fuel. It is not electric if it uses gasoline or any other type of fuel. A gas motor can not be easily converted to using other types of fuel.
Which are then used to do work. Which device uses electricity in this way?
An electric motor
How much electricity does an electric blanket use?
an electric blanket uses 200 watts(wattage). If you left your electric blanket on for 10 hours you might end upwith a 30 to 50 cent fine.
When was electricity first used?
Communication, the first of the great uses for electricity, began with the telegraph invented by Samuel Morse around 1840, to be followed by the telephone, radio and television. Thomas Edison added lighting in 1880, which was soon followed by working electric motors and electric heating. Most recently has come electronics and the computer revolution. In all electricity has fundamentally transformed the way we live. As the practical uses for electricity grew and multiplied, so did the demand for its production. Edison built the first central power station
What is electric appliance?
Something that uses electricity. like a toaster, or a waffle maker.
