Horsepower (hp) to kilowatts (kW) power conversion: calculator and how to convert.
Select horsepower unit type, enter the power in horsepower and press the Convert button:
* Electrical horsepower is used for electric engines and air conditioners
Horsepower (hp) is a unit of power. Power is the rate of energy usage per time unit. One imperial/mechanical horsepower (hp) is equal to 745.7 watts (W). One metric horsepower (hp) is equal to 735.5 watts (W).
Kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power. Power is the rate of energy usage per time unit. One kilowatt (kW) is equal to 1000 watts (W). One kilowatt (kW) is equal to 1000 joules (J) per second (S).
One imperial/mechanic horsepower is equal to 0.7457 kilowatts:
1 hp(I) = 745.699872 W ≈ 745.7 W = 0.7457 kW
So the power conversion of horsepower to kilowatts is given by:
P(kW) = 0.7457 ⋅ P(hp)
Convert 10 hp to kW:
P(kW) = 0.7457 ⋅ 10hp = 7.457 kW
One electrical horsepower is equal to 0.746 kilowatts:
1 hp(E) = 746 W = 0.746 kW
So the power conversion of horsepower to kilowatts is given by:
P(kW) = 0.746 ⋅ P(hp)
Convert 10 hp to kW:
P(kW) = 0.746 ⋅ 10hp = 7.460 kW
One metric horsepower is equal to 0.7355 kilowatts:
1 hp(M) = 735.49875 W ≈ 735.5 W = 0.7355 kW
So the power conversion of horsepower to kilowatts is given by:
P(kW) = 0.7355 ⋅ P(hp)
Convert 10 hp to kW:
P(kW) = 0.7355 ⋅ 10hp = 7.355 kW
