Convert Horsepower (Imperial) to Kilowatt
Unit definitions
Horsepower (Imperial)
The imperial horsepower is defined as $550$ foot-pounds per second (i.e., the ability to raise $550$ pounds by a foot within a second). One imperial horsepower is approximately $745.7$ watts.
Kilowatt
$10^{3}$ watts is a kilowatt.
How to convert Horsepower (Imperial) to Kilowatt
$$\text{Power}_{\text{kW}} = \text{Power}_{\text{hp}} \cdot 0.74569987158227$$
Examples
Example 1
Convert $40.0\ \text{hp}$ to $\text{kW}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{kW}} = 40.0 \cdot 0.74569987158227$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{kW}} = 29.827995$$
$$\therefore \ 40.0\ \text{hp} = 29.827995 \ \text{kW}$$
Example 2
Convert $60.0\ \text{hp}$ to $\text{kW}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{kW}} = 60.0 \cdot 0.74569987158227$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{kW}} = 44.741992$$
$$\therefore \ 60.0\ \text{hp} = 44.741992 \ \text{kW}$$
Example 3
Convert $120.0\ \text{hp}$ to $\text{kW}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{kW}} = 120.0 \cdot 0.74569987158227$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{kW}} = 89.483985$$
$$\therefore \ 120.0\ \text{hp} = 89.483985 \ \text{kW}$$
Example 4
Convert $135.0\ \text{hp}$ to $\text{kW}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{kW}} = 135.0 \cdot 0.74569987158227$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{kW}} = 100.669483$$
$$\therefore \ 135.0\ \text{hp} = 100.669483 \ \text{kW}$$
Example 5
Convert $185.0\ \text{hp}$ to $\text{kW}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{kW}} = 185.0 \cdot 0.74569987158227$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{kW}} = 137.954476$$
$$\therefore \ 185.0\ \text{hp} = 137.954476 \ \text{kW}$$
