Kilowatt hour to Horsepower (KWh To HP)

Kilowatt-Hour to Horsepower Calculator

Kilowatt-Hour (KWh) to Horsepower (HP) Conversion

To convert Kilowatt-Hours (kWh) to Horsepower-Hours (hpยทh), use the formula:

Conversion Formula

The relationship between kilowatt-hours and horsepower can be expressed as:

HP = KWh ร— 1.341 / h

Alternatively, you can express it as:

P(HP) = E(KWh) ร— 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 ร— 1.341 / 2 h โ‰ˆ 6.705 HP

Using the alternative formula:

P(HP) = 10 KWh ร— 1.341 / 2 h โ‰ˆ 6.705 HP

Kilowatt-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.

Kilowatt-hours (kWh) to Horsepower (hp) Conversion Table

Formula: hp = kW ร— 1.34102 (where kW = kWh per hour)
