Motor Power Fundamentals

Kilowatts (kW)

Kilowatt (kW) is a unit of electrical power, commonly used to rate the output of electric motors. It represents the actual power consumed or produced by the motor.

Horsepower (HP)

  • Horsepower (HP) is a unit of mechanical power, often used to describe the output of motors and engines.
  • It's a traditional unit, with 1 HP approximately equal to 745.7 watts (0.7457 kW).

Key Formula:

HP = kW / 0.7457

Calculation Formula

Kilowatts to Horsepower:
HP = kW / 0.7457

Example Calculation

Convert 10 kW to HP:

Given: Kilowatts (kW) = 10

Formula: HP = kW / 0.7457

HP = 10 / 0.7457

HP ≈ 13.41 HP

Result: 10 kW is approximately 13.41 HP
