This converter allows you to convert metric horsepower [PS] to electrical horsepower [hp(E)] or electrical horsepower [hp(E)] to metric horsepower [PS]. 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 metric horsepower [PS] ≈ 0.9859 electrical horsepower [hp(E)]1 electrical horsepower [hp(E)] ≈ 1.0143 metric horsepower [PS]

Convert metric horsepower to electrical horsepower

There are two simple ways to convert metric horsepower [PS] to electrical horsepower [hp(E)]. In the first calculation method, the value in metric horsepower [PS] is divided by the rounded conversion factor of 1.0143. The second method multiplies the value in metric horsepower [PS] by the rounded conversion factor of 0.9859.

  • Electrical horsepower [hp(E)] ≈ metric horsepower [PS] ÷ 1.0143
  • Electrical horsepower [hp(E)] ≈ metric horsepower [PS] * 0.9859

However, rounded conversion values are only suitable for rough conversions, as rounding errors can occur in the calculation result. The most accurate conversion of metric horsepower [PS] to electrical horsepower [hp(E)] can be achieved using the following calculation method.

  • Electrical horsepower [hp(E)] = metric horsepower [PS] * 735.49875 ÷ 746

Convert electrical horsepower to metric horsepower

Converting electrical horsepower [hp(E)] to metric horsepower [PS] is easy and can be done in two ways. The first method involves multiplication, in which the value in electrical horsepower [hp(E)] is multiplied by the rounded conversion factor of 1.0143. The second variant is a division. Here, the value in electrical horsepower [hp(E)] is divided by the rounded conversion factor of 0.9859.

  • Metric horsepower [PS] ≈ electrical horsepower [hp(E)] * 1.0143
  • Metric horsepower [PS] ≈ electrical horsepower [hp(E)] ÷ 0.9859

However, rounded conversion values do not allow for exact calculations because rounding errors can occur in the calculation result. The most accurate conversion of electrical horsepower [hp(E)] to metric horsepower [PS] can be achieved using the following calculation method.

  • Metric horsepower [PS] = electrical horsepower [hp(E)] ÷ 735.49875 * 746
