How to Convert Power to Horsepower?
1 Answers
Power and horsepower conversion method: 1 horsepower = 746 watts = 0.746 kilowatts. Below is the related introduction of power and horsepower: 1. Power and horsepower represent the same concept, both referring to the "force" generated by the engine, but they are expressed in different units. 2. The unit of maximum power is "kilowatt" (kW), which measures the amount of energy an engine can produce. Driving a car requires energy. Theoretically, for completely identical cars, the faster you want to go, the more energy is needed. Therefore, power determines the total energy output of an engine, and in most cases, it can be understood that maximum power determines the top speed. 3. There is another unit for power, which is horsepower, measured in "horsepower" (PS). The conversion between them is: 1 kW = 1.36 PS. When people often talk about how many horsepower, they are referring to power. Kilowatts (kW) and horsepower can be converted, not power and horsepower, because kilowatt is the unit of power.
