How do I convert HP to amps?
Knowing that we can write hp to amps formula for direct current (DC) as: I = P * 746 / (V * η) . As the SI unit of power is the watt, its common to convert units before estimating the amperage. A rule of thumb states that you should multiply the power in hp by 746 to get the power in watts.
How do I choose a cable size for a motor?
Size of Cable for Branch circuit which has Single Motor connection is 125% of Motor Full Load Current Capacity. Example: what is the minimum rating in amperes for Cables supplying 1 No of 5 hp, 415-volt, 3-phase motor at 0.8 Power Factor. Full-load currents for 5 hp = 7Amp. Min Capacity of Cable= (7X125%) =8.75 Amp.
