What is Watts to horsepower conversion

To convert watts (W) to horsepower (hp), you can use the following conversion factor:

1 horsepower (hp) = 745.7 watts

This means that to convert from watts to horsepower, you need to divide the value in watts by 745.7.

For example, let's convert 2500 watts to horsepower:

hp = 2500 W / 745.7 hp ≈ 3.35 hp

Therefore, 2500 watts is approximately equal to 3.35 horsepower.

How to convert watts to horsepower

Watts to mechanic / hydraulic horsepower

One mechanic or hydraulic horsepower is equal to 745.699872 watts:

1 hp(I) = 745.699872 W

So the power conversion of watts to horsepower is given by:

P(hp) = P(W) / 745.699872

Watts to mechanic / hydraulic horsepower Example

Convert 10W to mechanic horsepower:

P(hp) = 10W / 745.699872 = 0.01341 hp

Watts to electrical horsepower

One electrical horsepower is equal to 746 watts:

1 hp(E) = 746 W

So the power conversion of watts to horsepower is given by:

P(hp) = P(W) / 746

Watts to electrical horsepower Example

Convert 10W to electrical horsepower:

P(hp) = 10W / 746 = 0.013405 hp

Watts to metric horsepower

One metric horsepower is equal to 735.49875 watts:

1 hp(M) = 735.49875 W

So the power conversion of watts to horsepower is given by:

P(hp) = P(W) / 735.49875

Watts to metric horsepower Example

Convert 10W to metric horsepower:

P(hp) = 10W / 735.49875 = 0.013596 hp
