If its an ac motor, you do not have enough information. You would need to know the power factor or use a power meter to measure the power directly. Also, are you looking for the power taken by the motor or the power given out? They are different. Usually the power will be stamped on the nameplate, this will be output power.
Power does NOT equal volts times amps in ac circuits despite how many people try to say it does. It's not half either

P = 11.5 x 240 watts skipping things like VA and Power Factor. .

Wikipedia says...
" P = IV
where
P is the power (watt or W)
I is the current (ampere or A)
V is the potential difference (volt or V) "
Watts usually expressed in Volt Amperes (v X a)
276 Watts

No. I think it's 2760 Watts.
P=IV
P is the power (watt or W)
I is the current (ampere or A)
V is the potential difference (volt or V)
P =(11.5 A)(240V)
P = 2760 W

P=VI
P=240*11.5
P=2760Watts

P = VI for a DC circuit
For AC take 1/2 of the answer

the power of a electric motor is not measured in watts......watts is the measure of electrical usage........voltage is the measure of the currant speed.......amperage is the measure of electrical strength.............the power of a electric motor is measured in horse power........so what do you want to know..........the wattage usage of this motor?...........that would depend on the load the motor was required to handle.
