How many watt power inverter is required to run a 1hp 110v motor?

Need to know the running amp draw. Starting amps would be useful l too.
The average amp draw for a simple 1hp motor is about 7 amps, such as a fan motor. Ohms law says amps times voltage = watts, so 7 amp times 120v=840 watts. Consider that starting amperage is about 1-1/2 times running load, starting watts would be about 1200. You would need about a 1200 watt inverter to run that motor.

What type of motor is used in a 110V ac drill?
The motor for a 110v ac drill is a 14 amp motor. The 110v drill is used for household products and construction work. This is a tool that is not limited to wholesale purchases.
How do you get a 110V outlet in a car?
You will need to purchase a power inverter. An inverter changes direct current, like what is in your car, to alternating current, like in a home. You will need to know the wattage of the item you are powering in order to buy the correct sized invertor.
Why doesn't my 110v Wahl hair clippers work correctly when plugged into a power converter converting 220 v to 110 the screw on the side has no effect?
The internal working of the motor is designed for 110V/60Hz. Your stepdown converter is from 220V/50Hz to 110V/50Hz. Frequency converters from 50Hz to 60Hz are very expensive (many times the cost of a new clipper). Therefore it is better you get a clipper designed for 220V/50Hz. If you still like to put your clipper to use, then the most cost effective solution would be to get a "car inverter" that would convert 12V DC to 110V/60Hz AC.
Is there anyway to get 220V 60hz from a 110V 50hz power supply?
It would involve some electronics work but it could be done. Might add that it could be more expensive than just buying the proper power supply. Use Use 220V 60hz motor to run 110V 50hz Generator.
Example is my inverter from batteries and my genertor both supplying 110v in to by breaker panel if I forget to turn one off then the panel is fed twice with 110v what would happen?
If they are in phase and have same amplitude you should be okay. I expect this is not the case given your description so you would likely get a distorted waveform.
Will hooking up a power inverter to an electric scooter charger blow out the controller?
Well, that all depends on the voltage of both the inverter and the charger. As long as the output of the inverter is the same voltage as the input on the charger, you should be fine. Example: Normal scooter charger is 110 volts. Inverter is a 12V DC to 110V AC inverter. (the type used to watch a household TV while in a car) and your scooter charger normally plugs into a wall socket in your house, this will work fine. If the inverter you have is one that turns 110V AC to 12V DC, then you will have a problem.

What is best to use 230volt or 110volt water pumps?
Either. Motor size or your available power local to the pump installation are the determining factors. If you have to use a large motor, 220v requires less amp draw on the circuit and allows a smaller wire than a large motor running 110v. If 110v is already there and you only need a small motor, run 110v.

How many amps does a five horse power motor draw?
It depends on the voltage-- I think at 110v it's 4 amps per hp
What happens when you connect a 110 volt motor to 220 volts?
On a three wire supply system if you connect the two 110V wires together and they are across the phase they will short out and trip the breaker. If the two 110V wires are supplied from across the phase and connected to a motor then the motor will run. If the 110V wires are on the same phase nothing will happen.

What is the difference between an Inverter and a Converter?
The term converter usually refers to a DC to DC process where a higher or lower voltage is required. Even when a lower DC voltage is needed, it is sometimes more efficient to use a chopper style process rather than a voltage regulator. Converters are often used to condition dirty or highly variable sources like automotive, aircraft, and marine 12VDC systems into a very clean source of power for sensitive electronics. Many converters have very wide input voltage requirements that allow one design for a wide range of power 8-36 volts or more is not unusal. So you can operate even on almost dead batteries, or on a 24-36 V system without modification. Inverter is a term that implies making AC from DC as in 12VDC input, 120VAC output. This Is the correct answer: DC (batteries) 12v to AC (house) 120v Inverter AC (house) 120v to DC (batteries) 12v Converter
Can you replace a 110V hospital bed motor with 220V motor?
Yes, if you rewire the bed and rewire the plug on the wall to 220 volts.
Can you change the direction of a 110v electric motor?
The answer to that question is entirely dependent on the motor. Many motors have an access plate where the power feeds into the motor. Removing that plate often reveals a wiring diagram that shows how to change the wiring to reverse the motor direction. But most AC electric motors do not provide the option of reversing direction.
Can you run a 60hz 110V motor on 50 hz 220V with a step down transformer?
NO dear we can not rotate a 110 vlolt motor on 220,but if your voltage is 110v then y can rotate it on 50hz ,no problem,but it will rotate at lower speed, ENGR. NASEER AHMED,PAKISTAN
