On electric driven motors for fans or A/C components you can generally work backward and figure out how much power that it takes by looking at the wire gauge, and then assume a 20% loss on efficiency.

For example, a 12 ga wire is good for about 20 amps. A 10 ga is good for 30 amps

20 amps x 14.4 Volts / 748 watts per HP

= .385 HP

More or less 1/2 of a HP. It doesn’t sound like much but it does add up.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
