The quickest method to closely estimate motor horsepower is to use a digital clamp meter to measure current and voltage to the motor, and then perform a simple calculation. Use this formula to estimate motor horsepower. Horsepower(hp)= Voltage x Amperage x % EFF x power factor x 1.73/746.

How can you identify an electric motor without nameplate?
When testing a polyphase motor without nameplate information, we will not know the number of poles unless we perform a rotor influence check. The best way to do that is to test the motor as the rotor is stepped in 5 degree increments.
How many amps is 3 horsepower?

| 3 HP | 20.7 A | 90% |
| 3.5 HP | 24.2 A | 90% |
| 4 HP | 27.6 A | 90% |
| 4.5 HP | 31.1 A | 90% |
How many cc is a horsepower?
The general rule is for every 15 CC there is 1 HP. For example, for a 150 CC engine you would take 150 divided by 15, which equals 10 HP.
How many HP is 48V?
Of course one can increase its output by increasing its voltage. That is why it is rated 48V 1000w = 1000w output @ 48V = 1.34 peak hp!
