When measuring power, horsepower (HP) and kilowatts (kW) are two common units. Horsepower is often used in cars and machinery, while kilowatts are more commonly used in electrical and metric systems. With our calculator, you can easily convert between these two units of power.
How to Use?
Simply select the conversion type from the dropdown menu, enter the value you wish to convert (in HP or kW), and click the 'Convert' button. The calculator will instantly provide the corresponding value in the other unit.
Conversion Table
Horsepower (HP) | Kilowatts (kW) |
---|---|
1 HP | 0.7457 kW |
10 HP | 7.457 kW |
50 HP | 37.285 kW |
100 HP | 74.57 kW |
200 HP | 149.14 kW |
How to Convert HP to kW and kW to HP?
The following formulas are used for conversion:
- HP to kW formula:
kW = HP × 0.7457
- kW to HP formula:
HP = kW / 0.7457
For example, to convert 100 HP to kW:
kW = 100 HP × 0.7457 = 74.57 kW
To convert 75 kW to HP:
HP = 75 kW / 0.7457 = 100.57 HP
Examples
- 100 HP engine: Around 74.57 kW
- 50 HP engine: Around 37.29 kW
- 150 kW motor: Around 201 HP
- 75 kW motor: Around 100.57 HP
