How many watts is 1 horsepower of a motor?

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.


What is the formula to work out horsepower?

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).


What is 647 watts in horsepower?

One HP is about 746 W. So 647 / 746 = 0.9 HP


Is horsepower more than watts?

No - just different units. (1 hp = 746 watts)


How many joules are in 746 watt-seconds?

1 watt-second = 1 joule...746 watt-seconds = 746 joules(746 watts is an interesting number, and I'm curious to know how it wasselected to be the number in the question. 746 watts = 1 horsepower.1 horsepower = 746 joules of energy per second.The number is easy to remember: The mainsail on the Santa Maria developed2 HP in a fresh breeze during Christopher Columbus' first voyage in 1492.)
