In theory one horse power equals 746 watts. They are both basic measures of power.
A 1 HP motor however draws more than 746 watts because to give a mechanical output of 1 HP/746 watts at the shaft, the motor has to draw more than 746 watts of electric power to cover losses in caused by resistance in the windings and the iron core of the motor, and friction in the bearings.
A typical efficiency for a motor would be 90% so that the electric power used would be 829 watts.

For clarification in all electrical calculations regarding horsepower, 746 watts per horsepower is used.
It varies with the exact motor you choose, as different motors will have different efficiency ratings.
The accepted conversion between watts and horsepower is 1hp = 746 watts, but no motor is 100% efficient, so you will not find a 1hp motor that actually draws only 746 watts.
In general, the majority of 1 HP electric motors out there will draw between 1,000 and 1,500 watts.
746.27 watts.
There are 746.27 watts in one horsepower.
It takes 746.27 W to equal one horsepower.
746 watts in every HP regardless of voltage.
The definition is that 746 watts equal one horse-power.
2.0 horsepower = 1 491.39974 watts
1 horsepower=746watt
Horsepower is a unit of power. 1 horsepower = 745.699872 watts The formula for Power is this: Power = Work/TimeThe SI unit of power is the watt (W), which is equal to one joule per second. The SI unit for work is the joule (J). The SI unit for time is seconds (s).
No - just different units. (1 hp = 746 watts)
1 horsepower is the output power - the power produced. The power it uses is more, because no engine is 100% efficient. How much more, depends on the type of engine; an explosion engine (such as one that uses gasoline) is basically a heat engine, with an efficiency of perhaps 1/3; that means that about three times the output power is actually consumed. For an electrical motor, the required electricity will be only a little more than 1 horsepower (about 742 watts running current, more when the motor is getting started).
Approximately 746 watts of usuable power are equivalent to 1 horsepower. A 1hp motor, under full load, will draw more than 746 watts due to the inherent losses in the motor itself.
1 HP is 746 watts.
1 horsepower = 745.699872 watts
Volts don't make power. Watts do. Watts = (volts) x (amps) 1 horsepower = 746 watts
746 watts = 1 horsepower 1,000 watts = 1.3405 horsepower (rounded) 1 kilowatt-hour = 1.3405 horsepower-hour (rounded)
1 horsepower is = 746 watts 746 x .75 = 559.5 watts
A single watt is equal to about 0.00134102209 bhp. That means there are 745.699872 watts in a bhp.CommentA 'British' horsepower?
7460 watts bcoz 1 hp=746 watt
Rule of thumb, 1 HP = 746 watts.
1 horsepower is equal to 747.5 watts. 125 hp therefore = 93.2kW
1 horsepower = 745.699872 watts
1 horsepower is 760 Watts. I've also seen 1 hp = 745.7 Watts. Look up horsepower on Google.
