KW to HP Conversion

KW to HP Conversion

It is a power conversion calculator that converts Kilowatts (kW) to horsepower (hp) conversion. When you want to perform a conversion, use the blank text field to enter the value in Kilowatts. Click the ‘Convert' button which is used to initiate the conversion and the results will appear below the two controls.

It gives you the result in mechanical horsepower, electrical horsepower, and the metric horsepower. The electric horsepower is always used for air conditioners and electric engines. If you want to use a different value, click the ‘Reset' button to erase all previous data from the converter.

For example;

Convert 300 kilowatts to horsepower

Solution

Enter the Kilowatts value 300 in the blank text field and click the ‘Convert' button. The result will be displayed as;

402.30662665 mechanical horsepower (hp [I])

402.14477212 electrical horsepower (hp [E])

407.88648519 metric horsepower (hp [M])

This calculator is reliable and gives accurate results based on the input values. The ‘Reset' button is used to enhance its efficiency when you have new values to be converted from Kilowatts to horsepower. 

Formula for converting Kilowatts to horsepower

Kilowatts to mechanic/ hydraulic horsepower

1 hp (I) = 745.699872 W = 0.745699872 kW, where one mechanic or hydraulic horsepower is equivalent to 0. 745699872 kW

This means that the power conversion of kilowatts to horsepower is given by;

P (hp) = P (kW) / 0.745699872

Kilowatts to electrical horsepower

1 hp (E) = 746 W = 0.746 kW, where one electrical horsepower is equivalent to 0.746 kilowatts.

This implies that the power conversion of kilowatts to horsepower is given by;

P (hp) = P (kW) / 0.746 

Kilowatts to metric horsepower

1 hp (M) = 735.49875 W = 0.73549875 kW, where one metric horsepower is equivalent to 0.73549875 Kilowatts.

This means that the power conversion of kilowatts to horsepower is given by;

P (hp) = P (kW) / 0.73549875
