I need to determine the power consumed by a machine tool in kwh.
while checking out the spec-sheet of an automatic lathe i found that nowhere on the list was the mention of the power consumed in kwh, but rather it was mentioned that the lathe used a 2.5 hp motor.
so from this would it be safe to arrive upon this kind of calculation.
2.5 hp = 1.864 kw.
if the machine is run for one hour then, consumption is : 1.864 kw x 1 hr = 1.864 kwh.
Is the above calculation correct ? if so do correct me please.
