YOUR ANSWER: Watt.
Quite right.
When we say that 746 watts equal one horsepower, we mean that the power consumed
by an electrical device may be expressed in equivalent horsepower.
For example: Consider the power consumed by a large motor that draws 125 amperes
from a 600-volt circuit.
P = E x I = 600 X 125 - 75,000 watts.
This may be expressed in equivalent horsepower as
75,000 watts
= 100.2 hp
746 (watts in 1 hp)
How much power is consumed in the circuit above?
36 watts.
