I need to know how to calculate Horsepower of machinery as per Inspector of factory rule

There is always a confusion whether electrical conversion has to be included in list of machinery when we apply for factor license. So I need to get clarification on machinery list submission as per fartories act

HP calculation is done by factory manager by calculating the total power used by machinery, otherwise look at electric bill you will find it
800 Watt= 1 HP
1000 Watt = I KW

You need to provide the complete list of machinery installed/under installation in a factory. Every manual of the machinery provides complete tech.details of the machinery including the hp of the m/c. There is no common list of machinery applicable to all factory/ plant/unit. As you know machinery to be used depends on the nature of the product, size, capacity, process & extent of automation, handling requirement, logistics support etc. Therefore ask your plant head to fill these forms and annexures as may be required. This should include electrical, waste/effluent treatment & disposal, safety equipment etc.
And can you elaborate what sort of 'electrical conversion' is taking place in your process at the plant.
