How to convert horsepower to kilowatts?
Mechanic / Hydraulic horsepower to kilowatts
One mechanic or hydraulic horsepower is equal to 0.745699872 kilowatts:
1 hp(I) = 745.699872 W = 0.745699872 kW
Therefore,
P(kW) = 0.745699872 ⋅ P(hp)
Electrical horsepower to kilowatts
One electrical horsepower is equal to 0.746 kilowatts:
1 hp(E) = 746 W = 0.746 kW
Therefore,
P(kW) = 0.746 ⋅ P(hp)
Metric horsepower to kilowatts
One metric horsepower is equal to 0.73549875 kilowatts:
1 hp(M) = 735.49875 W = 0.73549875 kW
Therefore,
P(kW) = 0.73549875 ⋅ P(hp)

Steps to Use the Horsepower to Kilowatts Converter:
- Enter the Horsepower Value:
- Input the horsepower value in the provided field.
- Select the Horsepower Type:
- Choose the type of horsepower from the dropdown menu (Mechanical, Electrical, or Metric).
- Perform the Conversion:
- Click the “Convert” button to initiate the calculation.
- The converter will display the result in kilowatts in the designated field.
Example:
If you enter a value of 10 HP and select “Mechanical horsepower” from the dropdown menu, the converter will calculate the equivalent kilowatts as follows:
Mechanical kW=10 HP×0.7457=7.457 kW\text{Mechanical kW} = 10 \, \text{HP} \times 0.7457 = 7.457 \, \text{kW}Mechanical kW=10HP×0.7457=7.457kW
Using an online horsepower-to-kilowatts converter simplifies these calculations, providing quick and accurate results to help you effectively manage your power requirements.
Additional Features:
- Swap Conversion: You can easily switch between converting from HP to kW and kW to HP by clicking the “Swap” button, taking you to the relevant conversion page.
