1HP is one HP. No matter if it's 1HP electric, two stroke gasoline, four stroke gasoline, two stroke diesel, four stroke diesel. Water turbine, gas turbine or steam turbine. Where the confusion lays is the concept of intermittent overload capacity. That 5HP electric motor maybe able to make 10HP for a few seconds when the planner is over loaded.

The 10HP gasser will keep running for hours.The 5HP electric motor will carry the 10HP load for about a minute before tripping the thermals.
