How it works
Enter a value, select Mechanical horsepower and Kilowatt, then MimiFile calculates the result instantly using the conversion model for this category.
Convert mechanical horsepower (hp) to kilowatts (kW) for engines, motors, machinery and equipment power ratings.
Enter a value, select Mechanical horsepower and Kilowatt, then MimiFile calculates the result instantly using the conversion model for this category.
Multiply mechanical horsepower by approximately 0.7456998716 to get kilowatts. MimiFile treats hp and metric horsepower (PS) as separate units.
Power uses a base-unit scale model.
kW = mechanical hp × 0.7456998715822702 using MimiFile's registered power scales.
This route uses mechanical horsepower. Metric horsepower, often written PS, has a different registered value of 735.49875 W and should use the dedicated metric-horsepower conversion.
Useful when a specification, map, recipe, technical document or device uses Kilowatt while your source value is in Mechanical horsepower.
