Amps to Horsepower Calculator
How to Convert Amps to Horsepower
Formula:
HP = (Amps × Volts × Efficiency × Power Factor) ÷ 746
For single-phase motors, use the formula as shown above. For three-phase motors, multiply the result by √3 (approximately 1.732).
Where:
- HP = Horsepower output
- Amps = Current draw in amperes
- Volts = Voltage supply
- Efficiency = Motor efficiency (decimal form)
- Power Factor = Motor power factor (typically 0.8-0.9)
- 746 = Watts per horsepower
