Kilowatts to Brake Horsepower Calculator
Kilowatts (KW) to Brake Horsepower (BHP) Conversion
To convert Kilowatts (kW) to Brake Horsepower (BHP), use the formula:
Conversion Formula
BHP = KW × 1.3410220888Where:
- BHP = Brake Horsepower
- KW = Kilowatts
Example
If you have a power output of 10 KW, the calculation would be:
BHP = 10 KW × 1.3410220888 ≈ 13.41 BHPWhat 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.
What 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.
