Power unit conversion is used to convert between power units such as watts, kilowatts, megawatts, horsepower, kilocalories per hour, British thermal units per hour and refrigeration tons. It is suitable for electrical appliance power, mechanical power, power systems and HVAC applications.
The tool supports common power or power-rate units including watts, kilowatts, megawatts, gigawatts, metric horsepower, mechanical horsepower, kilocalories per hour, British thermal units per hour and refrigeration tons.
Enter a power value and select the source unit and target unit to obtain the conversion result. The reference table can display the current value in other power units at the same time.
1 kilowatt equals 1000 watts; 1 metric horsepower is approximately 735.49875 watts; 1 mechanical horsepower is approximately 745.69987 watts. Different horsepower definitions produce different conversion results.
Metric horsepower and mechanical horsepower use different definitions and therefore correspond to different watt values. When the term “horsepower” is used for automobiles, machinery and technical documentation, the applicable standard should be confirmed to determine the correct conversion relationship.
Power conversion can be used for household appliances, engines, machinery, electrical engineering, air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment, as well as for converting product technical specifications from different countries and regions.
1 kilowatt equals 1000 watts.
1 metric horsepower is approximately 0.73549875 kilowatts.
1 mechanical horsepower is approximately 0.74569987 kilowatts.
Horsepower has different definitions, including metric horsepower and mechanical horsepower, so the same “1 horsepower” does not correspond to exactly the same power value.
