. Is there a simple method to measure the horsepower of a
small motor (1-3 hp) for a non-technical person

Answer Posted / thowsif_emerson

1 horsepower = 746 watts. You can calculate watts by
multiplying voltage
times amps and factoring in efficiency. You can't really
get horsepower
just from the voltage of a motor.
