How to Convert Horsepower (electric) to Kilowatt

1 horsepower (electric) = 0.746 kilowatts

Kilowatt = Horsepower (electric) × 0.746

Example: 100 hp(E) × 0.746 = 74.6 kW

Reverse Conversion

To convert kilowatts back to horsepower (electric):

  • Remember, 1 kilowatt equals 1.34048 horsepower (electric).
  • To convert 74.6 kW to hp(E), multiply 74.6 x 1.34048, resulting in 100 hp(E).

100 hp(E) is also equal to:

  • 74600 watt
  • 0.0746 megawatt
