How to convert Metric horsepower to Kilowatt

Conversion factor and calculation steps from Metric horsepower (hp (PS)) to Kilowatt (kW).

Conversion logic

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 hp (PS) = 735.49875 W

1 kW = 1000 W

1 hp (PS) × 735.49875 = 735.49875 W

735.49875 W ÷ 1000 = 0.73549875 kW
