Mystery Motor.
Does anyone know how o tell the size of a motor without any nomenclature? I could just take it in but wanted to know your thoughts. It's off an old condenser. I think it's probably a 1/4 horse.

746 watts equals 1 hp. This will get you close. Most motors have a power factor... This is the efficiency rating of the motor.

There is a way to measure the rotor to tell what hp. Don't have the file but there is a thread on the subject from a couple months ago.

Thanks boys, that link helped a lot. I measured the loops and stack height and came up with 1/4 horse. It has eight poles and a stack of 1.6".
