Amps are not directly convertible to horse power, which is a measure of power. Power is current times voltage. Therefore on a 240 v supply, 5.1 amps equals 1224 watts. One horse power is 746 watts.

How do you convert horsepower into amps?

You don't. The units measure different things.


How can a 110 volt table saw be rated 4 horsepower at 15 amps?

it cant someone in marketing is lying Regarding any electrical equipment, especially motors, 746 watts or volt-amps is 1 horsepower. If your table saw is rated 4 horsepower, that would be 2984 volt-amps and at 110 volts that calculates to 27 amps. The above answer is correct. At 110 volts you cannot run a 4 horsepower motor on a 15 amp circuit. <<>> The above theoretical answer is correct however you should allow extra for efficiency less than 100% and a power factor less than 1, so the current requirement should be increased by 25% to 34 amps. <<>>The rule of thumb for motors at 240 v is 7 amps per HP, which would be 28 amps for 4 HP, but because the voltage is less the current must be more, 28x240/110 which is 61 amps.


What is Full Load Amps?

FLA is the nameplate amperage rating of the motor when it is running at its designed horsepower and on the motors designed voltage. 746 watts = 1 HP. The FLA of a 1 HP motor at 240 volts would be W = amps x volts, Amps = Watts/Voltage. 746/240 = 3.1 amps full load. Overload the motor and the amps go higher, motor running at no load amps are lower than FLA


What is the difference between Full load Amps and Service Factor Amps on an electric motor?

Full load amps is the amperage at which the motor was designed to work at to achieve its rated horsepower. Service factor amps is the amount of a periodic overload at which a motor can operate without overload or damage. Continuous operation within the service factor amps will shorten the insulation and motor bearing life of the motor as the motor will be operating at a higher temperature than it was designed to.


How many watts will a 1 horsepower 240 volt motor drawing 9 amps use?

Amps are not directly convertible to horse power, which is a measure of power. Power is current times voltage. Therefore on a 240 v supply, 9.2 amps equals 2208 watts. One horse power is 746 watts.

How do you Convert 220v 20hp to amps?

1 horsepower = 746 watts, 1 watt = 1 volt x 1 amp => 20 Horsepower = 14,920 watts => 14,920 watts / 220 volts = 67.82 amps


With 110 volt ac current and 7 amps how many hp do you have?

1 HP = 746 watts. Watts = amps x volts. 7 x 110 = 770 watts. 770/746 = 1.032 HP

Amps.


Which is stronger amps or horsepower?

Horses are strong, amps have no strength at all unless they have volts riding along with them. The power of an amp is the current in amps times the voltage in volts. So 1 amp at 746 volts equals 746 watts, which is also one horse-power. The same wcould be achieved by 10 amps at 74.6 volts.


How many amp in 10 HP?

How to convert horsepower to amps? You'd have to make an assumption about volts. If it's running at 220 volts, that would make it 34 Amps. There are 746 watts in a horsepower and Amps = Watts/Volts.

What is the difference between amps and horsepower?

Amps measure electrical current, while horsepower measures the power output of an engine or motor. Amps are used in electrical circuits to measure the flow of electricity, while horsepower is a unit of measure for mechanical power.
