Kilowatt to Mechanical horsepower
Kilowatt (kW)
Mechanical horsepower (hp)
How it is calculated
Each unit is defined via the base unit (watt (W)). The value is first converted to the base unit, then to the selected unit.
1 kW = 1000 W
1 hp = 745.699871582 W
1 kW × 1000 = 1000 W
1000 W ÷ 745.699871582 = 1.3410220896 hp
