HP to Amps Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the total horsepower from amps.
A = HP * 746 / (V* n * PF)
- Where A is the amps
- HP is the horsepower
- V is the volts
- n is the efficiency
- PF is the power factor
To calculate amps from HP, multiply the hp by 746, then divide the result by the product of the volts, efficiency, and power factor.
HP to Amps Definition
HP to amps is the conversion from the standard unit of mechanical power to electrical power of amps.

FAQ
A horsepower is a standard unit for electrical power that is equal to exactly 746 watts.
If you are converting directly from watts, you simply need to divide the watts by 746 to get horsepower. If you are converting from Amps, you must include more information about the motor as described in the formula A = HP * 746 / (V* n * PF).
