How it works
Enter a value, select Kilowatt and Metric horsepower, then MimiFile calculates the result instantly using the conversion model for this category.
Convert kilowatts (kW) to metric horsepower (PS) for European vehicle, engine, motor and equipment power ratings.
Enter a value, select Kilowatt and Metric horsepower, then MimiFile calculates the result instantly using the conversion model for this category.
Multiply kW by approximately 1.359621617 to get metric horsepower (PS). MimiFile defines 1 PS as 735.49875 W, separately from mechanical horsepower.
Power uses a base-unit scale model.
PS = kW ÷ 0.73549875, equivalent to kW × approximately 1.3596216173. For example, 100 kW is about 135.962 PS.
Metric horsepower (PS) equals 735.49875 W, while mechanical horsepower is about 745.699872 W. Use the dedicated mechanical-hp route when that is the unit in the specification.
Useful when a specification, map, recipe, technical document or device uses Metric horsepower while your source value is in Kilowatt.
