Convert volt • ampere to horsepower

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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

(w a t t)

Left side: 1.0 (v o l t \times a m p e r e) = 0.8 (w a t t) = 0.8 (W)

Right side: 1.0 (h o r s e p o w e r) = 736.0 (w a t t) = 736.0 (W)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.8 \times (w a t t) = x \times 736.0 \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.8 \cdot (W) = x \cdot 736.0 \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.8 \cdot (W) = x \times 736.0 \times (W)

Conversion Equation

0.8 = x \times 736.0

Switch sides

x \times 736.0 = 0.8

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{736.0})

x \times 736.0 \times \frac{1.0}{736.0} = 0.8 \times \frac{1.0}{736.0}

Cancel

x \times 736.0 \times \frac{1.0}{736.0} = 0.8 \times \frac{1.0}{736.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.8}{736.0}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0010869565 \approx 1.087 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (v o l t \times a m p e r e) \approx 1.087 \times 10^{- 3} (h o r s e p o w e r)
