Kw to Hp fomular please.

As the heading asks.

 

0.74kW = 1hp (approx)

there's a slight difference between imperial and metric horsepower, but the above will get you close enough

1 hp is equivalent to 0.7457 kw.

Quick google came up with this:

typing "convert kilowatt to horsepower" into google gives
"1 kiloWatt = 1.34102209 horsepower"

Moike

(You can do most conversions this way,
typing "convert 120 kilowatts to horsepower" into google gives
"120 kiloWatts = 160.922651 horsepower")

 

KW x 1.341 = HP.

Sprint

 

1 hp is equivalent to 0.7457 kw.

 

Surely you can come up with a couple more decimal places?

Does BInfTech mean Bloody Interfering Techo in IBM-speak?

What about ps -> kw?

ps -> hp is
1.03 = 1

ps is metric horsepower. The difference is about 1%.
1ps/hp = ¾kw.

Actually, ps if pfundstark. From germany. (Yes, I know that it's the same as
metric horsepower, I'm just being a nerd.)

 

1 kW is equivalent to 1.341022 hp

The best that I can obtain, corrected to three decimal places is

1 HP = 0.746 KW
and
1 PS = 0.735 KW

Several sites are available by putting

conversion PS HP

into Google search.

Thanks Peoples.
I think there's enough info there to get me outa trouble.

 

Or hestekrefter, if you want to go a bit further up north.

PS is (German ) Pferdestaerke which is the direct translation for horsepower
or hp.
Only the actual measurements are marginally different, the word means
exactly the same.

Only if you specify how you define the pound force, which doesn't have
an official definition.

If you borrow the standard acceleration of gravity which is official
for defining kilograms force (obsolete units that are not part of SI,
the modern metric system), then to a couple more digits you have

1 hp = 0.745 700 kW

As you might be able to figure out, the calculations aren't much
harder if you include those last two digits!!!

Gene Nygaard

 

So for fun you just cruise google groups and search for keywords which will
let you prove that you know more about force, mass and measurements of such
forces and masses than anyone else and then you join in a discussion of how to
convert one measure of force to another with impressive sounding catch phrases
like "kilograms force" and "standard acceleration of gravity"... and you still
didn't answer the question better than anyone else, and they're just a bunch
of rough biker types.

And just in case anyone was wondering about SI, the modern metric system...
