How to Convert Horsepower (electric) to Horsepower (metric)

1 horsepower (electric) = 1.01428 horsepower (metric)

Horsepower (metric) = Horsepower (electric) × 1.01428

Example: 15 hp(E) × 1.01428 = 0.20286 hp(M)

Reverse Conversion

To convert horsepower (metric) back to horsepower (electric):

  • Remember, 1 horsepower (metric) equals 0.985923 horsepower (electric).
  • To convert 0.20286 hp(M) to hp(E), multiply 0.20286 x 0.985923, resulting in 15 hp(E).

15 hp(E) is also equal to:

  • 149.2 watt
  • 0.1492 kilowatt
  • 0.0001492 megawatt
