Kilowatt and horsepower are commonly used motor power units. Let's show you how they are converted?

    There are two kinds of horsepower in metric system and British system. There is a small difference between them. If there is no explanation, it should be considered as metric horsepower. In addition, there is also a name called "electrician horsepower", which is numerically equal to British horsepower.

    In terms of physical concept

    1W=1J/s=1N·m/s

    1 HP (Metric) = 735.499w = 735.499n · M / S

    The conversion relationship between unit horsepower and kilowatt (kw) is as follows:

    1kW = 1.36 HP (Metric); or 1 HP (Metric) = 0.735499kw

    1kW = 1.34 HP (British system); or 1 HP (British system) = 0.7457kw

    In rough calculation, 1kW = 1.35hp or 1 HP = 0.75KW is enough.

    Memory formula is: horse for kilowatt, four top three

    The symbol of British horsepower is HP; there is no unified symbol for metric horsepower, PS is used in Germany, ch or CV is used in France, and there is no specific regulation in other countries, but British horsepower symbol is often used.
