Horsepower to Amps

How does one HP convert to Watts or Amps?

I have a link to Photobucket where I posted a picture of the formulas that you want for standard electrical formulas used for power consumption calculations. I don't want to go to all of the trouble to write them all out but being a newbie here I am unable to post up the link.

So just copy and paste the link that I have typed out below. Take out the spaces in the "http" part of the url

If you need any help using what we supplied just let us know.

The formulas are helpfull if you know what all of the abreviations stand for. Such as:
"I"
"E"
"PF"
"EFF"

If you are a "layman" trying to use, it does not give you enough info.

! HP = 745.7 W
(note that both are measures of mechanical power out. No machine is 100% efficient, and an electric motor will need more than 745.7 W of input power (perhaps 1000 W) to produce 745.7 W of output (the rest goes to heat).
