Megawatts to Horsepower Converter
Convert power from megawatts (MW) to different types of horsepower.
How to Convert Megawatts to Horsepower
To convert megawatts (MW) to horsepower (hp), use the following conversion
Megawatts to Mechanical Horsepower
One mechanical horsepower is equal to 0.000745699872 megawatts:
1 hp(I) = 0.000745699872 MWThus, the power conversion of megawatts to horsepower is given by:
P(hp) = P(MW) / 0.000745699872Example
Convert 1 MW to mechanical horsepower:
P(hp) = 1 MW / 0.000745699872 = 1341.022 hpMegawatts to Electrical Horsepower
One electrical horsepower is equal to 0.000746 megawatts:
1 hp(E) = 0.000746 MWThus, the power conversion of megawatts to horsepower is given by:
P(hp) = P(MW) / 0.000746Example
Convert 1 MW to electrical horsepower:
P(hp) = 1 MW / 0.000746 = 1340.482 hpMegawatts to Metric Horsepower
One metric horsepower is equal to 0.00073549875 megawatts:
1 hp(M) = 0.00073549875 MWThus, the power conversion of megawatts to horsepower is given by:
P(hp) = P(MW) / 0.00073549875Example
Convert 1 MW to metric horsepower:
P(hp) = 1 MW / 0.00073549875 = 1360.419 hpFor more information on horsepower, visit the Britannica page on Horsepower.
