kW to HP Calculator

Calculate Horsepower from Kilowatts



Formula

The formula to convert kilowatts to horsepower is:

\[ HP = kW \cdot 1.34102209 \]

Definition

Kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power equal to 1,000 watts. Horsepower (HP) is a unit of power that is approximately equal to 745.7 watts.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ HP = 10 \cdot 1.34102209 = 13.41 \]
