Convert horsepower to volt • ampere

Learn how to convert 1 horsepower to volt • ampere step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (h o r s e p o w e r) = x (v o l t \times a m p e r e)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(w a t t)

Left side: 1.0 (h o r s e p o w e r) = 745.699872 (w a t t) = 745.699872 (W)

Right side: 1.0 (v o l t \times a m p e r e) = 1.0 (w a t t) = 1.0 (W)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (h o r s e p o w e r) = x (v o l t \times a m p e r e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 745.699872 \times (w a t t) = x \times 1.0 \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot 745.699872 \cdot (W) = x \cdot 1.0 \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 745.699872 \cdot (W) = x \times 1.0 \times (W)

Conversion Equation

745.699872 = x \times 1.0

Simplify

745.699872 = x

Switch sides

x = 745.699872

Solve

x

x = 745.699872 \approx 7.457 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (h o r s e p o w e r) \approx 7.457 \times 10^{2} (v o l t \times a m p e r e)
