Brake Horsepower to Watt Calculator
Brake Horsepower to Watts Conversion
To convert Brake Horsepower (BHP) to Watts (W), use the formula:
BHP to W Calculation Formula
W = BHP × 745.7Where:
- BHP = Brake Horsepower
- W = Watts
Example Calculation
If you have an engine rated at 100 BHP, the calculation would be:
W = 100 BHP × 745.7 ≈ 74,570 WWhat is Brake Horsepower (BHP)?
Brake horsepower (BHP) is a unit of measurement for engine power. It represents the engine’s output before losses such as friction, heat, and other factors. One brake horsepower is equivalent to approximately 745.7 watts.
What is a Watt (W)?
A watt (W) is the SI unit of power, defined as one joule per second. It measures the rate of energy transfer or conversion and is commonly used to quantify the output power of engines and electrical devices.
