HP to kW Converter (Horsepower to Kilowatts)

Convert Mechanical Horsepower (HP) and Metric Horsepower (PS) into electrical Kilowatts (kW).

Power in Horsepower (HP)

Horsepower Standard Definition

Equivalent Power in Kilowatts (kW)

7.457 kW

10 HP = 7457 Watts

Total Power in Watts

7,457 W

1Conversion factor: $1\text{ Mechanical HP} = 745.70\text{ W}$
2Total Power in Watts: $10\text{ HP} \times 745.70\text{ W/HP} = 7457.00\text{ W}$
3Calculated kW: $\frac{7457.00\text{ W}}{1000} = \mathbf{7.4570\text{ kW}}$

kW = (HP_mech × 745.699872) / 1000

Converts mechanical output shaft horsepower to equivalent electrical power in kilowatts.

Input: 25 HP Industrial Motor

Result: 18.64 kW

25 HP × 745.7 W/HP / 1000 = 18.642 kW.

25 HP Industrial Motor = 18.64 kW

1 Mechanical Horsepower equals exactly 0.745699872 kW (approx 0.746 kW or 746 Watts).
