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 ร— 1.3410220888

Where:

  • BHP = Brake Horsepower
  • KW = Kilowatts

Example

If you have a power output of 10 KW, the calculation would be:

BHP = 10 KW ร— 1.3410220888 โ‰ˆ 13.41 BHP

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.

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.
