Question: how much electricity does an electric motor use?
Answer: 1 Horsepower is equal to 745.7 watts of electrical power, so in theory a 5HP motor operating at 100% efficiency will consume about 3.728kW of power. In one hour, it will use 3728.5 kilowatt-hours. Of course, no motor is 100% efficiency, so the motor will actually consume somewhat more power than this.
