This converter allows you to convert kilowatts [kW] to electrical horsepower [hp(E)] or electrical horsepower [hp(E)] to kilowatts [kW]. Calculations are performed in both directions. The calculation result and the entered value are displayed with up to 20 decimal places for maximum accuracy.

1 kilowatt [kW] ≈ 1.3405 electrical horsepower [hp(E)]1 electrical horsepower [hp(E)] = 0.746 kilowatts [kW]

Convert kilowatts to electrical horsepower

There are two simple ways to convert kilowatts [kW] to electrical horsepower [hp(E)]. In the first calculation method, the value in kilowatts [kW] is divided by 0.746. The second method multiplies the value in kilowatts [kW] by the rounded conversion factor of 1.3405.

  • Electrical horsepower [hp(E)] = kilowatts [kW] ÷ 0.746
  • Electrical horsepower [hp(E)] ≈ kilowatts [kW] * 1.3405

The calculation method with a rounded conversion value is more suitable for rough conversions from kilowatts [kW] to electrical horsepower [hp(E)], as the calculation result may contain rounding errors. Therefore, the variant with the exact conversion factor is more suitable.


Convert electrical horsepower to kilowatts

Converting electrical horsepower [hp(E)] to kilowatts [kW] is easy and can be done in two ways. The first method involves multiplication, whereby the value in electrical horsepower [hp(E)] is multiplied by 0.746. The second variant is a division. Here, the value in electrical horsepower [hp(E)] is divided by the rounded conversion factor of 1.3405.

  • Kilowatts [kW] = electrical horsepower [hp(E)] * 0.746
  • Kilowatts [kW] ≈ electrical horsepower [hp(E)] ÷ 1.3405

The rounded conversion value can cause rounding errors, resulting in inaccurate calculation results. To ensure that the conversion from electrical horsepower [hp(E)] to kilowatts [kW] produces the most accurate calculation result possible, the conversion should be performed using the exact conversion factor.
