Definition :
- The total power required to operate a pump and its motor.
- Horsepower is a unit that measures the rate of doing work.
- Brake horsepower (BHP) is the power delivered by the motor to the pump.
- The difference between brake horsepower and hydraulic power defines pump efficiency.
- Water horsepower represents the minimum theoretical power required to move water.
