Convert Kilowatts to Horsepower (Mechanical)

Sometimes, you just need to convert kilowatts to horsepower. But how can you do this and make sure that you are getting the right results?

Using Our Kilowatts To Horsepower Converter

kilowatts to horsepower

As you probably already know, both kilowatts and horsepower (mechanical) are two units that serve to measure power. So, from now on, you can simply use our kilowatts to horsepower converter that is located at the top of this page. 

If you check our converter, it is pretty straightforward. As you can see, you will only need to add the number of units that you want to convert. Now, assuming that you want to make the conversion from kW to horsepower, you just need to select Kilowatt (kW) in the filed “Convert from” and the Horsepower (UK) in the field “Convert to”. As soon as you do this, the result will immediately appear below.

Let’s say that you are trying to convert 50 Kilowatts (kW) to Horsepower (UK). As we already told you, you just need to add 50 to the “Number of Units” field and then make sure that you have the Kilowatts selected on the “Convert from” field as well as the Horsepower (UK) selected on the “Convert to” field. So, as you can see:

50 Kilowatts (kW) = 67.0510929328148 Horsepower (Mechanical) (hp)

One of the best things about using our converter is that you can also make the opposite conversion. So, instead of making the conversion from kW to horsepower you can also make the conversion from horsepower to kW. All you need to do is to change the fields that refer to the units of power. So, in this case, you will need to have Convert from horsepower and Convert to kilowatt.

Converting Kilowatts To Horsepower (Mechanical) By Hand

When you need to convert kilowatts to horsepower (mechanical) by hand, you just need to keep in mind the conversion ratio. So, all you need to know is that:

1 Kilowatt (kW) = 1.341021858656296 Horsepower (Mechanical) (hp)

Converting cubic yards into cubic feet.

So, let’s check a simple example so that you can fully understand how this works.

Let’s say that you want to convert 39 kilowatts to horsepower (mechanical). So, considering that you know that: 

1 Kilowatt = 1.341021858656296 Horsepower (Mechanical)

Then, when you want to convert 39 kilowatts, you just need to:

39 Kilowatts = 39 X 1.341021858656296 Horsepower (Mechanical)

39 Kilowatts = 52.299852487595544 Horsepower (Mechanical)

Here’s another example. Let’s say that you want to convert 410 kilowatts to horsepower (mechanical). So, considering that you know that: 

1 Kilowatt = 1.341021858656296 Horsepower (Mechanical)

Then, when you want to convert 410 kilowatts, you just need to:

410 Kilowatts = 410 X 1.341021858656296 Horsepower (Mechanical)

410 Kilowatts = 549.8189620490814 Horsepower (Mechanical)
