Features
- Work with Value to Convert.
- From Unit: choose from Watt (W); Kilowatt (kW = 1,000 W); Mechanical Horsepower (1 HP = 745.7 W); Metric Horsepower (1 PS = 735.5 W), with more options in the selector.
- To Unit: choose from Watt (W); Kilowatt (kW = 1,000 W); Mechanical Horsepower (1 HP = 745.7 W); Metric Horsepower (1 PS = 735.5 W), with more options in the selector.
- Review Watt (W); Kilowatt (kW = 1,000 W); Mechanical Horsepower (1 HP = 745.7 W) in the result breakdown.
Benefits
- Compare equipment ratings on a common unit basis.
- Keep watt, horsepower and apparent-power conventions distinct.
Who should use this tool?
- People reviewing equipment ratings.
- Students practising power-unit conversions.
How to use
- Complete the labelled fields for your scenario, including Value to Convert. Use the units shown beside each field.
- Choose From Unit; To Unit to match the situation you want to check.
- Select Calculate / Run Tool and review 1 Mechanical Horsepower (1 HP = 745.7 W) in Watt (W) and Watt (W); Kilowatt (kW = 1,000 W).
- Check the assumptions and limitations below. Adjust a value to compare scenarios, then copy or download the result you need.

FAQs
Is a kVA rating always the same as kW?
Apparent power and real power are related through power-factor assumptions. Review the convention used in the tool and the equipment specification rather than treating their numbers as interchangeable.
Which inputs do I need for Electrical Power & Motor Horsepower Converter (Watt, kW, HP, kVA @ 0.8 PF)?
Use Value to Convert; From Unit; To Unit. The built-in examples show how those fields fit together.
What should I check before using this result?
Uses standard SI and Indian Legal Metrology exact conversion factors. Check the assumptions and output against your intended task before relying on the result.
