Megawatts to Horsepower Converter
Convert power from megawatts (MW) to different types of horsepower.
How to Convert Megawatts to Horsepower
👋 Curious about how power in megawatts relates to horsepower? Let’s break it down! 🚀
Megawatts to Mechanical Horsepower ✨
One mechanical horsepower is equal to 0.000745699872 megawatts:
1 hp(I) = 0.000745699872 MWSo 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 MWSo 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 MWSo 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 hpUnderstanding the Conversion
