the motor must be in watts ,since dependent on
power ,therefore by using the formula,
1hp=740watts, this enables the conversion in
watts.
just to avoid higher ratings we are in use of hp

Answer / gaju

HP is non-SI units of power,
1 HP = 746 Watts.OR 1HP x 0.746 = kW

why rating of motor in HP?..

Answer / nikunj thakkar

there is one simple question that why we are using KW and not HP?
ANS:-
as we know that is HP is unit of power in mechanical sometimes it happens that we say that am heaving 150W motor
and in market it the minimum size is in 0.5HP as said in above answer it is easy to calculate KW power of motor

second we are using motor to do mechanical work not electrical work so it would be easy to say that we heaving motor in HP not in KW
