3,730 W is equal to about 5 horsepower. (4.9982 hp)
watts, horsepower, tons of refrigeration, etc.
A single-phase induction motor uses variable amounts of current depending on the load etc. but on a 240 v system you should allow 7 amps per horsepower, so 35 amps for 5 HP.
746 watts equals one horsepower.
Watts and horsepower are both units of power.

Electrical power is expressed in watts or in jouls per secondAnother AnswerThere is no such thing as 'electrical power'. Power is simply a rate: the rate of doing work. Power can be measured in watts (in the SI system) or in horsepower (in the Imperial system). There is no reason why the power of a heater can't be measured in horsepower or the power of a car can't be measured in watts.

1 horsepower = 745.699872 watts
Motors are only rated in horsepower in North America, in most other countries, they are rated in watts. The reason for doing so, is that a motor's power is always expressed in terms of its output power -that is the maximum power it can supply to its mechanical load. If, as in North America, a mechanical load is expressed in horsepower, then so is the output of the motor; if, as elsewhere, a mechanical load is expressed in watts, then so is the output of the motor.Don't forget a horsepower is simply the Imperial unit for power, whereas the watt is the SI (metric) equivalent. 1 HP = 746 watts.
746 watts equals one horsepower.
0.5 horsepower how many watts
Watts and horsepower are both units of power.
Electrical power is also measured in Watts.
BHP stands for 'brake horsepower', and simply means it is describing the output, rather than the input, power of the machine. Although a motor's output power is expressed in horsepower in North America, elsewhere it is expressed in watts.
