My tests showed that it takes about 1 horsepower to circulate fluid at 2500 RPM on my vehicle with the stock pump.
The hydraulic power unit I am using to drive the power steering draws 50 to 60 amps free flowing and 110 amp to move the steering sector while sitting still on dirt.
The only time the system develops pressure is when the wheel is turned. The fluid free flows when there is no steering wheel input.
