Megawatt to Horsepower Calculator
Megawatt (MW) to Horsepower (HP) Conversion
To convert Megawatts (MW) to Horsepower (HP), use the formula:
Conversion Formula
HP = MW × 1341.0220888Where:
- HP = Horsepower
- MW = Megawatts
Example Calculation
If you have a power output of 5 MW, the calculation would be:
HP = 5 MW × 1341.0220888 ≈ 6705.11 HPMegawatt (MW)
A megawatt (MW) is a unit of power equal to one million watts. It is commonly used to measure the output of power plants and the power consumption of large electrical loads.
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.
