Enter the power in kilowatts and press the Convert button:
* Electrical horsepower is used for electric engines and air conditioners
Kilowatts is a unit of power - the energy consumed within a certain time.
One kilowatt (kW) is equal to 1000 watts (W):
1kW = 1000W
One kilowatt is defined as energy consumption of 1000 joules for 1 second:
1kW = 1000J / 1s
One kilowatt is equal to 1000000 milliwatts:
1kW = 1000000mW
Kilowatts is a unit of power - the energy consumed within a certain time.
One imperial/mechanical horsepower (hp(I)) is equal to 745.7 watts (W):
1hp(I) = 745.7W
One electrical horsepower (hp(E)) is equal to 746 watts (W):
1hp(E) = 746W
One metric horsepower (hp(M)) is equal to 745.5 watts (W):
1hp(M) = 745.5W
One imperial/mechanic horsepower is equal to 0.7457 kilowatts:
1 hp(I) = 745.699872 W ≈ 745.7 W = 0.7457 kW
So the power conversion of kilowatts to horsepower is given by:
P(hp) = P(kW) / 0.7457
Convert 10kW to imperial/mechanic horsepower:
P(hp) = 10kW / 0.7457 = 13.41 hp
One electrical horsepower is equal to 0.746 kilowatts:
1 hp(E) = 746 W = 0.746 kW
So the power conversion of kilowatts to horsepower is given by:
P(hp) = P(kW) / 0.746
Convert 10kW to electrical horsepower:
P(hp) = 10kW / 0.746 = 13.405 hp
One metric horsepower is equal to 0.7355 kilowatts:
1 hp(M) = 735.49875 W ≈ 735.5 W = 0.7355 kW
So the power conversion of kilowatts to horsepower is given by:
P(hp) = P(kW) / 0.7355
Convert 10kW to metric horsepower:
P(hp) = 10kW / 0.7355 = 13.596 hp
