What is one horsepower?

One horsepower is equivalent to 746 watts ( = joules of energy per second) or 550 ft.lb (force) of work per second.The horsepower or hp is the Imperial unit of measurement for power."Power" is the scientific term used to describe "capacity to perform some work".These days, in most countries, it has been replaced by an SI unit, the watt (or, in practice, kilowatt).The term brake horsepower refers to the rated output power of a machine, which is not to be confused with the amount of input power it requires to be able to generate that amount of rated output power.In the case of a car engine, the brake horsepower (or kilowatts) is the power remaining after all the losses have been taken into account. (Heat emitted, gearbox friction, etc.) In other words, output power (brake power) is input power minus losses.For more information see the Related link shown below.


What is the horsepower rating of an electric motor?

Horsepower is the Imperial unit of measurement for power. In North America, the horsepower is still used to define the rated output power of a motor, whereas the watt is used to define its corresponding input power. Because no device is 100% efficient, a motor's rated output power is always lower than its corresponding input power.Elsewhere in the world, horsepower is considered to be an obsolete unit of measurement and, so, the watt is used to define both the rated output power and the corresponding input power.


What is rated output of the engine?

For a mechanical engine, such as a steam engine, or an automotive engine, two parameters are important. These are the power output at a given speed, and the torque available at that speed.The power would be measured in Horsepower, and the torque in foot-pounds. [In Imperial units.]In metric units those would be kilowatts, and Newton-meters. It would be normal to make a plot of these parameters at various speeds.
