fractionalhorsepower
Fractional horsepower refers to electric motors with a power output of less than one horsepower. These motors are commonly used in a wide range of applications where high power is not required. The term "horsepower" itself is a unit of power, historically used to compare the output of steam engines to that of horses. One mechanical horsepower is equivalent to 746 watts. Therefore, fractional horsepower motors typically produce less than 746 watts of mechanical output power.
Fractional horsepower motors are categorized by their power ratings, such as 1/10 hp, 1/4 hp, 1/2 hp,
