I would also imagine that must depend on how fast it is going at any given time. This is good information to have, thanks to all.

1 horsepower equils 746 watts so a 2.25 horse motor equils 1678.5 watts. Dividing 1678.5 watts by 120 volts and you get 13.9875 amps. ----- Original Message ----- From: David Ferrin To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, October 05, 2009 7:12 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] electric motor question We just got a new treadmill that has a 2.25 horse power motor in it. I don't recall the formula for calculating the electrical current usage but I know that there are several on here who do know it off the top. It is on a fairly lightly used circuit but that of course depends on the time of day as outside lights ETC are also on that line. I can change things around here and need to know if I should or not.
