How do amps compare to HP?

Amperes are a measure of the rate of flow of electricity, whereas horsepower is a measurement of work divided by time, so amperes and horsepower cannot be equated or converted to one another (it would be like trying to convert pounds to miles).

How many horsepower is a 15 amp electric motor?

At 100% efficiency, the most a 15-amp, 120v outlet in a home circuit can supply is 15 x 120 or 1800w; 1800 divided by 746 equals 2.41 hp.

How many HP is 12 amps?

Common Horsepower to Amps Conversions

Horsepower Amps Voltage
1.75 HP 12.1 A 120 V
2 HP 13.8 A 120 V
2.5 HP 17.3 A 120 V
3 HP 20.7 A 120 V

What size breaker do I need for a 2 hp motor?

2HP 6.8 * 2.50 = 17 or a 15 amp breaker (next lowest size.) 1/2 HP 2.2 * 2.50 = 5.5 or a 5 amp breaker.

How do you convert HP to amps?

Given horsepower and volts, it is possible to calculate amps. The calculation of amps uses Ohm’s Law, which is amps times volts equals watts. Multiply the horsepower by 746 watts. For example, an engine at two horsepower with 230 volts would be calculated as two horsepower times 746 watts, which equals 1492.
