Kilowatt-Hour to Horsepower Calculator
Kilowatt-Hour (KWh) to Horsepower (HP) Conversion
To convert Kilowatt-Hours (kWh) to Horsepower-Hours (hp·h), use the formula:
Conversion Formula
The relationship between kilowatt-hours and horsepower can be expressed as:
HP = KWh × 1.341 / hAlternatively, you can express it as:
P(HP) = E(KWh) × 1.341 / time(hours)Where:
- HP = Horsepower
- KWh = Kilowatt-hours
- h = Time in hours
- 1.341 = Conversion factor (1 KW = 1.341 HP)
Example
If you have an energy consumption of 10 KWh over 2 hours, the calculation would be:
HP = 10 KWh × 1.341 / 2 h ≈ 6.705 HPUsing the alternative formula:
P(HP) = 10 KWh × 1.341 / 2 h ≈ 6.705 HPKilowatt-hour (KWh)
A kilowatt-hour (KWh) is a unit of energy that measures how much electricity is used over time. It represents the energy consumed when one kilowatt (1,000 watts) of power is used for one hour.
Horsepower (HP)
Horsepower (HP) is a unit of power that was originally defined as the power needed to lift 550 pounds by 1 foot in 1 second. It’s commonly used to measure the power output of engines and motors.
