What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms power measurements from pound-foot per hour, an imperial unit representing mechanical work done per hour, into electric horsepower, a standard unit commonly used to rate electric motors and electrical drives.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the power value in pound-foot/hour (lbf*ft/h).
  • Select pound-foot/hour as the source unit and electric horsepower as the target unit.
  • Click convert to obtain the equivalent power in electric horsepower.
  • Use the result for comparing vintage mechanical power to modern electric motor ratings.

Key Features

  • Converts very low power values from legacy imperial units to electric horsepower.
  • Uses a precise conversion factor specific to pound-foot/hour to electric horsepower.
  • Supports comparison between mechanical power in old imperial units and electric motor ratings.
  • Browser-based and easy to use for diverse industrial and historical applications.

Examples

  • 10 pound-foot/hour equals 5.0484731468924e-6 electric horsepower.
  • 1,000 pound-foot/hour equals 5.0484731468924e-4 electric horsepower.

Common Use Cases

  • Expressing very low mechanical power outputs in legacy imperial units.
  • Documenting historical or vintage equipment specifications that use foot-pound units.
  • Estimating hand-crank or slow winch work rates and converting them to standard electric horsepower.
  • Sizing motor controllers and specifying electric motor power for industrial equipment.
  • Comparing power ratings between mechanical equipment and electric motors.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure power values represent steady, continuous output for accurate conversion.
  • Use precise measurement tools to avoid rounding errors with very small converted values.
  • Refer to motor nameplates or manufacturer specifications when applying electric horsepower values.
  • Keep in mind this conversion is ideal for low power rates typical in small machinery or antique equipment.

Limitations

  • Pound-foot/hour measures extremely low power, producing very small horsepower values.
  • Converted values require attention to precision to prevent misinterpretation due to rounding.
  • This tool assumes steady, continuous power and does not apply to variable or peak power outputs.
  • Not suitable for high-power or dynamic power measurement scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is pound-foot per hour (lbf*ft/h)?
Pound-foot per hour is an imperial unit of power representing mechanical work done at a rate of one foot-pound force per hour, used mainly for very low power measurements.

Why convert pound-foot/hour to electric horsepower?
Converting helps translate legacy imperial units into a widely accepted unit for electric motors, aiding in comparing vintage mechanical power with modern electric machine ratings.

Can this conversion be used for peak power values?
No, this conversion is intended for steady, continuous power outputs and may not accurately represent variable or peak power measurements.

Key Terminology

Pound-foot per hour (lbf·ft/h)
An imperial unit of power representing the rate of mechanical work equivalent to one foot-pound force performed each hour.
Electric horsepower
A unit of power commonly used to rate electric motors, defined as exactly 746 watts, reflecting mechanical work converted by an electric machine.
Conversion rate
The specific factor (5.0484731468924e-7) used to calculate electric horsepower from pound-foot per hour.
