How Do You Convert Horsepower To Kilowatt Calculator?
A kilowatt (kW) is the metric unit used to quantify power. In the imperial system used in the United States, horsepower (hp) is used for the same purpose. If you were comparing the power-producing ability of two car engines and one manual listed the power in horsepower while the other listed the power in kilowatts, you would need to change the horsepower value into kilowatts to make a fair comparison. Identify the number of horsepower you want to convert to kilowatts. Calculate that product of the number of horsepower and 0.7456 to determine the number of kilowatts equivalent to the number of horsepower. For example, 110 horsepower would be equal to 82.016 kilowatts because 110 times 0.7456 equals 82.016. Calculate the quotient of the number of horsepower and 1.3410 to determine the number of kilowatts equivalent to the number of horsepower. For example, 80 horsepower would be equal to about 59.65 kilowatts because 80 divided by 1.3410 equals 59.65.
