HP to kW Converter
What is Hp to kW Converter?
An Hp to kW converter is one of the simplest and most effective tools for converting power from horsepower to kilowatts. These two units measure the same thing-power but are adopted much more often in different regions or industries. Horsepower comes into use much more frequently in an automotive and machinery context, while kilowatts are widely adopted in electrical and scientific applications.
HP to Watts and kW Conversion
Formula: Mechanic / Hydraulic Horsepower to Watts
To convert mechanic or hydraulic horsepower to watts:
\[ P(W) = 745.699872 \times P(\text{hp}) \]
Where:
- \(P(W)\) = Power in watts
- \(P(\text{hp})\) = Power in horsepower
Example Calculation
If the power is 10 HP (mechanic):
\[ P(W) = 745.699872 \times 10 = 7456.99872 \text{ W} \]
Formula: Electrical Horsepower to Watts
To convert electrical horsepower to watts:
\[ P(W) = 746 \times P(\text{hp}) \]
Where:
- \(P(W)\) = Power in watts
- \(P(\text{hp})\) = Power in horsepower
Example Calculation
If the power is 10 HP (electrical):
\[ P(W) = 746 \times 10 = 7460 \text{ W} \]
Formula: Metric Horsepower to Watts
To convert metric horsepower to watts:
\[ P(W) = 735.49875 \times P(\text{hp}) \]
Where:
- \(P(W)\) = Power in watts
- \(P(\text{hp})\) = Power in horsepower
Example Calculation
If the power is 10 HP (metric):
\[ P(W) = 735.49875 \times 10 = 7354.9875 \text{ W} \]
