Hp to volts Calculation:
HP is the short form of horsepower. For converting HP to volts we have three sets of the formula for DC, AC single-phase and AC three-phase.
Hp to DC volts calculation:
DC voltages V(V) in volts is equal to 746 times of horsepower P(HP) in HP divided by current in I(A) in Amps. The DC volts formula will be
V(V) = 746 x P(HP) / I(A) volts
Note: The voltage V(V) can be measured between the positive to the negative terminal
Example:
A 1 HP DC motor has 1.7 Amps current flow, calculate the voltage across the positive and negative terminal.
DC Voltage = 746 x 1 / 1.7 = 438 Volts.
Hp to AC single phase volts calculation:
AC Line to the neutral voltage V(V) in volts is equal to 746 times of horsepower P(HP) in HP divided by the multiplication of power factor and circulating current I(A) in Amps.
The phase to neutral voltage V(V) = 746 x P(HP) / pf x I(A) in Volts
Note: The AC voltage V(V) can be measured between the Phase to the neutral terminal
Example:
A 10 HP AC single phase motor has 39 Amps current flow with 0.86 power factor, calculate the voltage across the phase to neutral terminal.
AC Voltage = 746*10 / (39*0.86) = 222.4 Volts.
HP to Three phase volts calculation:
AC three phase voltage V(V) in volts is equal to 746 times of the total power P(HP) divided by three times of the multiplication of power factor and circulating current I(A) in Amps.
The Line to neutral voltage V(V) = 746 x P(HP) / (3 x I(A) x pf) in Volts
Note: The AC three phase voltage V(V) can be measured between the Phase to neutral terminal
At the same time Line to line voltage V(V) is equal to 746 times of the power P(HP) in HP divided by root three times of the current I(A) in Amps
The Line to Line Voltage V(V) = 746 x P(HP) / (√3 x pf x I(A)) in Volts
Note: The AC voltage V(V) can be measured between the Phase to Phase terminal
Example:
A 10 HP AC three phase motor has 0.85 power factor, 12 Amps current flow, calculate the voltage across the phase to phase terminal.
AC three phase Voltage =746*10 / (1.732*12*0.85) = 422.27 Volts
