It all depends on the supply voltage. In the UK the supply voltage is 240V therefore the amps would be 1500w/240v = 6.25A. In the USA (with a supply of 110v) the amps would be 1500w/110v = 13.64A. All you need to remember is the formula 'amps = watts/voltage'

The formula you are looking for is, 746 watts = 1 HP. Also a motor does not generate wattage it uses wattage. Technically, it converts electrical (or electromagnetic) power to mechanical power (and some heat power is given off as well, due to friction and winding resistance as a couple of factors).

To calculate the amps, use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. Assuming a standard voltage of 120V, 1500 watts would be equal to 12.5 amps.

kilo means a thousand of anything, so 1500 watts is 1.5 kilowatts.
