756 watts per HP @ 100% efficiency. Most electrical motors run around 90% or so. I think that's a bit optimistic. Baldor's "premium efficiency" 3HP motor gives 85% efficiency and 96% power factor. Their more typical 3HP motor gives 78% efficiency and 85% power factor for a total efficiency of around 66%. Chris |

Hell, I have 6.5 HP vacuum which draws 10A!! How is THAT for efficiency, eh? G |
