Yes, two values are used, amperage and voltage. The product of amps times volts is watts. It is the amount of kilowatt per hour used that the utility bill is based upon.

service factor of motor is 1.00 or 1.15 . almost all electric motors rated at 1.5 horsepower or more have a service factor of 1.15 or greater. a motor with a 1.00 service factor is usually a very small motor like an exhaust fan in residential bathroom. if a motor has 1.00 service factor all that means is that it can only operate at 100% of its rated amperage. a motor with a 1.15 service factor can periodically be run at 115% of its rated amperage without damaging the motor.
