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.
2.0 horsepower = 1 491.39974 watts
746 watts is equal to 1 horsepower. Horsepower is a unit of power that measures the rate at which work is done, and 1 horsepower is equivalent to 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).
No - just different units. (1 hp = 746 watts)
To determine the horsepower required, you first need to calculate the work done, which is force multiplied by distance (1492 N * 2 m = 2984 joules). Then, convert the work done to horsepower by dividing by the time taken (1 second) to get the power in watts (2984 joules / 1 second = 2984 watts). Finally, convert watts to horsepower by dividing by 746 (1 horsepower = 746 watts), giving you approximately 4 horsepower.
One HP equals 746 watts. So 4 HP = 2984 watts.
2.0 horsepower = 1 491.39974 watts
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
A single watt is equal to about 0.00134102209 bhp. That means there are 745.699872 watts in a bhp.CommentA 'British' horsepower?
1 HP = 750 watts / 5250 divided by 750 = 7
1 horsepower is = 746 watts 746 x .75 = 559.5 watts
1 Horsepower is about 746 watts. So 1/2 HP = 373 watts. The actual power drawn from the source is probably more than that due to reactive power, winding resistance and friction, to name a few factors.
1 HP = 746 watts. 16000 watts / 746 = 21.4 HP. Nominal HP is probably 20 HP.
746 watts = 1 horsepower 1,000 watts = 1.3405 horsepower (rounded) 1 kilowatt-hour = 1.3405 horsepower-hour (rounded)
