BHP to kW Conversion Formula

To convert BHP to kilowatts, it’s important to note that one mechanical brake horsepower is equivalent to 0.745699872 kilowatts. In other words, 1 hp is equal to 745.699872 watts or 0.745699872 kW.

Using this knowledge, the formula for converting BHP to kW can be easily derived:

P(kW) = 0.745699872 × P(hp)

Where P(hp) represents the power output in brake horsepower and P(kW) represents the equivalent power output in kilowatts.

Example

Let’s say we have an engine with a power output of 300 BHP. We can convert this to kilowatts using the formula:

P_(kW) = 0.745699872 × P_(hp) = 0.745699872 * 300 = 223.7099616 kW

Therefore, the power output of the engine is 223.71 kW in SI units (kilowatts).
