Steve - I agree with you - Power ( eg: Horsepower ) is force applied over time and is therefore not "instantaneous". As a matter of fact, the definition of 1 horsepower is 33000 ft pounds in one minute. There is no way to "measure" horsepower - it must be calculated from applied torque or force. That formula is: Torque x RPM divided by 5252. This is for rotational force and perhaps the electrical equivalent is different? But an electric motor that delivers rotational force ( torque )can only do so one revolution at a time, so therefore horsepower must be calculated per the above formula.
