How to Convert Horsepower to Kilowatts

P(kW) = 0,745699872 * Php(I), where Php(I) – mechanic / hydraulic horsepower.

P(kW) = 0,746 * Php(E), where Php(E) – electrical horsepower.

P(kW) = 0,73549875 * Php(M), where metric horsepower.

P(kW) = Php(S) × 9.8095, where Php(S) – boiler horsepower

Example 1.

Let’s say we have a hydraulic pump that has a rating of 50 horsepower. We want to know how much power that is in kilowatts.

P(kW)  = 50 HP x 0.7457 = 37.285 kW

Example 2.

Let’s say we have an electric motor with a power output of 5 HP. To determine its equivalent power in kilowatts, we can use the formula:

P(kW) = 5 HP x 0.746 kW/HP = 3.73 kW

Example 3.

Php(M) = 15 HP. Convert 15 hp to kW:

P(kW) = 0,73549875 * 15 hp = 11,03248125 kW
