He stated that 1HP is approximately 750 watts which you concede is
correct. He goes on to say that 750 watts equals a little over 6A at
120V. Either you also agree with that or you think Prof Ohm is an
idiot, because 750 = 120*6.25 (P=IE).


I = (746 * hp) / (eff * pf * voltage)

and that also ignores SF.


My "new" lathe sports a 1HP cap start-induction run nameplated at 14 amps.
Must really be inefficient.
