Thats simple. 1 horse power = 746 watts
 
...

ok so would i divide .27332 in to .00134(hp=1 watts) or times .27332 by 746 and then i would also need to find the input wattage
 
figure a typical shunt wound motor may be in the 70-90% efficient range. Actual design efficiencies can vary greatly. So figure 80% average.
