1/2 hp sump pump =how many kw?
Answers:
formula to calculate wattage = voltage x amps = watts. example- 125 volts x 4 amps = 500 watts, or .5kw.
120 volts x 3 amps = 360 watts, or .360kw
the amp load may change, if you're using a long extension cord, or if the cord is under-sized. That's also hazardous. Make sure the power cord connection is never allowed to contact any water.
You can use the same formula to find the amp draw, if you know the wattage and the voltage. For example; the heating element on a cook stove rated at 2500 watts with 240 volts of electricity will draw 10.4 amps. (2500 divided by 240)

1 HP = 550 ft-lbs/sec = 0.746 Kw
Therefore, for the Sump Pump with 1/2 HP, it has an equivalent of 0.373 Kw!
Tip: Having a conversion table will somehow make you
memorize whatever units you need to convert in the long
run.
