14 horsepower how many watts?
One HP equals 746 watts. So 4 HP = 2984 watts.
How many watts is 1.5 kW?
1119 <<>> To answer this question two values have to be added. The phase of the motor is needed and the voltage on which the motor operates is needed. With these two values the correct wattage of the motor can be calculated.
How many 12 volt batteries to run a 1.5 horsepower water pump for 1 hour?
1 hp is 746 watts but you have to allow extra for losses. So for 1.5 hp you need about 1400 watts to be supplied, which at 12 v is a current of 117 amps. A car battery is about 40 amp-hours therefore 3 batteries would be needed, connected in parallel, 4 to be sure. Also needed is an inverter to convert 12 v to the voltage of the pump motor, and AC 50/60 Hz if that is what it needs.
How many watts does the average sump pump use?
To calculate the amperage of a motor more information needs to be stated. The voltage, wattage or horsepower are needed and then use this equation I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. For calculation purposes there are 746 watts in one Horsepower.
2 horsepower equals how many watts?
746 watts equals one horsepower.
What is the actual power of a 5 horsepower motor?
A 5 horsepower motor would have 3,730 watts of power.
What is horsepower equal to?
One horsepower (electric motor rating) is equal to 746 watts.
14 horsepower how many watts?
One HP equals 746 watts. So 4 HP = 2984 watts.
How much mechanical shaft horsepower is produced by an AC motor drawing 56 Kilowatts?
The rule of thumb is 746 watts per horsepower. You have 56,000 watts of rating so: 56,000 divided by 746 watts or roughly 75 horsepower. You have one very large motor there!
How much does it cost to run a 100 horsepower electric motor?
A 100 horsepower electrical motor would consume 74,600 watts.
What is the kva rating on a 1.5hp motor?
One horsepower is equal to 746 watts.
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.
How many watts is 1.5 kW?
1119 <<>> To answer this question two values have to be added. The phase of the motor is needed and the voltage on which the motor operates is needed. With these two values the correct wattage of the motor can be calculated.
One horsepower equal how many 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.
Can you compare watts and horsepower?
746 watts per horsepower
