Brake Horsepower to Kilowatt Calculator
Brake Horsepower (BHP) to Kilowatt (KW) Conversion
To convert Brake Horsepower (BHP) to Kilowatts (kW), use the formula:
Conversion Formula
KW = BHP × 0.745699872Where:
- KW = Kilowatts
- BHP = Brake Horsepower
Example
If you have a power output of 10 BHP, the calculation would be:
KW = 10 BHP × 0.745699872 ≈ 7.457 KWWhat is Brake Horsepower (BHP)?
Brake horsepower (BHP) is a unit of power that measures the engine’s output before losses such as friction. It is commonly used to rate the power of engines and motors.
What is a Kilowatt (KW)?
A kilowatt (KW) is a unit of power equal to 1,000 watts. It is commonly used to measure the output of engines and the power consumption of electrical devices.
