Electric motor ?

Q: How powerful is a 5hp electric motor and what power source would it need? Would it's power source be dangerous?
What about a 2hp motor, would that need dangerous amounts of electricity? And would a 2hp motor be able to lift heavy objects?

    5 hp

    what power source would it need

    Electricity.
    ------------------

    5 hp = 3728.499 watts = 3.7 kw

    Dangerous? Depends, if...

    Depend on efficiency of that motor, slip etc.
    The power source need : 5 x 750 watt = 3,75 KW.
    No danger, as long as the protection system (wiring, fuse/breaker, insulation etc) full fill.
    2 Hp needs, 2 x 750 = 1.5 KW
