How Many Horsepower is 125kw?
1 Answers
125 kilowatts (kW) = 169.952702163 metric horsepower (PS). Here is some additional information: 1. Metric horsepower: Metric horsepower, also known as PS, is entirely artificially defined and is set to a value very close to imperial horsepower. One metric horsepower is defined as the power required to perform 75 kilogram-force meters of work per second. That is: 1 metric horsepower = 75 kilogram-force meters/second = 735 watts. 2. Imperial horsepower: The concept of horsepower as a unit was coined by James Watt, the improver of the steam engine, to compare the power of his steam engine to that of a horse's pulling force. It is defined as 'the power of a horse capable of pulling 33,000 pounds at a speed of one foot per minute,' with watts (W) or kilowatts (kW) being the standard units of measurement.
