ANSWER: I will assume the chainsaw is running off 115 volts and is single phase. The formula for this is: HP = VOLTS x Amps x Efficiency x Power Factor / 746 Lets say a single phase 115 volt AC Motor (the chainsaw) has an efficiency rating of 92%, and a power-factor of 80% (because it's inductive). Determine the horsepower if the amp load is 9 amps. HP = 115 x 9 x 0.92 x 0.80 / 746 = 1.021 Horsepower While you don't know the exact efficiency and power factor of your chainsaw I think this is close enough. Any size chainsaw is very dangerous.

How many amps in a 1000 watts at 110 volts ac?

Watt and horsepower are both units of power. They are unrelated to whether the current is AC or DC, on the voltage of the current, or whether the power is even transported by an electrical current, as opposed to some other means.Different definitions of horsepower are used - you can find more details at the Wikipedia article on "horsepower", but it is usually around 730-750 watts per horsepower.


10 ohms plus 9 volts equals how many amps?

Ohm's Law: Voltage = Amperes times Resistance 9 volts = amps * 10 ohms amps = .9


How do you work out 9 volts and current 0.02 amps?

To calculate power, multiply voltage (9 volts) by current (0.02 amps): 9 volts * 0.02 amps = 0.18 watts.

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.


What has more power a 5 amp grass trimmer or a 18 volt one?

At a specific voltage the higher the amperage the higher the rated horsepower of the motor. You will see the amperage rating used when manufactures sell hand tools. A saw that draws 12 amps, it is stated, is better than the saw that draws 9 amps. As the question stands a comparison can not be made between voltage and amps.


How many watts is 9 amps?

You cannot "convert" 9 amps in watts. Amps are a unit of electric current, and watts are a unit of electric power. Power is given by P = IV where P is power, I is current and V is voltage. To determine the power (or wattage) you must know both the current and voltage.


Is 9 amp drill as powerful as 14 volt?

Your question is similar to: "Is an apple more powerful than an orange?" You are comparing two different parameters. Electric Power = Volts multiplied by Amperes = Volt-Amps. To know which drill is more powerful, you need to compare the Volt-Amps of each drill with the other one. If the battery voltage is the same for both drills (it probably is not), then the one with the highest motor current rating SHOULD be the most powerful. However, manufacturers tend to fudge some on their ratings. When they say "This is a 9 Amp drill", often it is not clear or not defined what they mean. Is the battery rated for a 9 Amp output, or is the motor rated to use 9 Amps maximum, or 9 Amps average, or are the wires running from the battery to the motor rated for 9 Amps? You see what I mean. Electric power cannot be measured in Amps or in Volts, but must be a combination of the two (Volt-Amps, or Watts, or Horsepower, or some known and well-defined power quantity).
