kW to horsepower unit converter

Convert between kW, mechanical hp, and metric PS — three mechanical power units, not electrical input with motor efficiency.

— Choose a unit and enter a nonnegative value.

  • 1 kW ≈ 1.34102209 mechanical hp ≈ 1.35962162 metric PS
  • 1 mechanical hp = 0.7456998715822702 kW
  • 1 metric PS = 0.73549875 kW

Mechanical power unit conversion only. Electrical input power and shaft output differ by motor efficiency, which this tool does not model. Does not size motors or claim code compliance.

1 mech hp = 745.6998715822702 W; 1 metric PS = 735.49875 W; 1 kW = 1000 W. Example: 1 kW ≈ 1.34102209 mech hp ≈ 1.35962162 PS. Does not convert electrical input kW to shaft output without efficiency.
