What is the horse power of the motor?

Hi Stacey,My unit has two speed settings, using 1HP for the low setting, and 2HP for the high setting. The unit is powerful. So far I've used it on both carpeted and non-carpeted floors and it worked great! I'm very pleased with mine! Hope this helps,Charlie

The 14S (as well as 14SW and 14SC) has a 1-HP motor, (not 1/2 HP mentioned in the previous answer to this question).

On 110v motor the larger the horse power, The higher the amp draw. If you are running a large 110v motor and under load and it is drawing over 20 amps. It will keep blowing the fuse or burn this unit up.

Hi Brian! If my calculations are correct... I am calculating about 1/10 HP. This was derived from the following: The manufacturer states on their website that the output of the motor at 50 RPM is 8.5 lb-ft of torque. The equation for rotational torque-horsepower relationship is HP= torque (in lb-ft) times Speed (in RPM) all divided by 5252. HP=(torque x rpm)/5252= .081 HP. I am pretty much certain this is correct. If not, please all chime in and let me know! Thanks!

3 hp or even smaller. For sure no more than 5 hp. An electric trolling motor would work too.

it is 115 voltage and is 1 1/2 horse power works very well.used as well pump works great

I am sure the HP measurement is mechanical power not electrical. Mechanical power in this case would be a function of torque and rotation as opposed to electrical power which is voltage and current.

It is a 360 Watt Motor for the Classic Model and 250 Watts for the Junior model. I have the Classic Model.

It doesn't say what motor power it has but it has different power speeds. I love this machine

We hooked ours up to 22o and seem to be getting enough power, but I don't know the exact Horse power.

I just looked at the product. The plack on the side does say 1/2 hp. The motor inside is about 3" (give or take) in diameter and aboun 4" to 5" long. I could not easily see any markings on it. I can say that it has worked well for my needs and I dont hear it being taxed with the 3/4 to 1 1/2" stock wood I have been using it for.

For your calculations it is generally accepted 1 HP = 745.7 Watts. If you do the math, you are well under 1500 Watts. Now, the only issue is the startup current for your motor since it will take more on startup than on running. According the the chart link attached, this is about 19.5 Amps at running load. Startup amps are more for a brief period. See http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/electrical-motor-hp-amps-d_1455.html

Horsepower can be converted into watts by remembering 1 HP = 746.70 watts. Doing the math, 3250/746.7 = 4.35 HP. But remember, there is inrush current on a motor, the normal extra current it takes to get a motor started. I'd say the best you can probably truly expect this generator to handle is maybe a 3 HP motor. Hope that helps. Ron

Ohm's Law tells you that answer. Multiply the voltage, typically 120VAC, by the current, say 3 amperes. The answer would be 360 watts. Motors always draw the most amps when starting. When they reach operating speed, the current draw usually drops.

it has a 65 watt motor, most of this size are at least 140 watts. This is what they call a "cheater" size.

From experience, the higher the voltage of the motor is rated, the more power it would have. That said, the output force is contingent on load of the torque time speed divided by 5252. Hope that helps out.

Hello Gail. It is a 500 watt motor and goes a steady 20 mph for me. I hope I have answered your question.Tony
