What is Watts to Hp conversion calculator ?
The watts to HP calculator is very handy and intended for the conversion of the electrical or mechanical power measured in watts into the equivalent unit of measurement in horsepower. Horsepower is a commonly utilized power unit of measurement, but most of all in the industries that involve automobiles and engineering or machines. On the other hand, watts comprise the International System of Units.
Through this calculator, it is easy to provide different conversions of types of horsepower, such as:
- Mechanical Horsepower (hp(I)) – Commonly used in mechanical systems and machinery.
- Electrical Horsepower (hp(E)) – Often used for electric motors and generators.
- Metric Horsepower (hp(M)) – Used primarily in European countries.
Watts to Horsepower Conversion
Formulas:
To convert watts to various types of horsepower:
**Mechanical Horsepower:**
\[ \text{HP(I)} = \frac{\text{Watts}}{745.7} \]
**Electrical Horsepower:**
\[ \text{HP(E)} = \frac{\text{Watts}}{746} \]
**Metric Horsepower:**
\[ \text{HP(M)} = \frac{\text{Watts}}{735.5} \]
Where:
- \(\text{Watts}\) = Power in watts
- \(\text{HP(I)}\) = Mechanical horsepower
- \(\text{HP(E)}\) = Electrical horsepower
- \(\text{HP(M)}\) = Metric horsepower
Example Calculation
If the power is 1000 watts:
\[ \text{HP(I)} = \frac{1000}{745.7} \approx 1.34 \]
\[ \text{HP(E)} = \frac{1000}{746} \approx 1.34 \]
\[ \text{HP(M)} = \frac{1000}{735.5} \approx 1.36 \]
