This converter allows you to convert metric horsepower [PS] to megawatts [MW] or megawatts [MW] 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] ≈ 7.355 * 10-4 megawatts [MW]1 megawatt [MW] ≈ 1,359.6216 metric horsepower [PS]

Convert metric horsepower to megawatts

There are two simple ways to convert metric horsepower [PS] to megawatts [MW]. In the first calculation method, the value in metric horsepower [PS] is divided by the rounded conversion factor of 1,359.6216. The second method multiplies the value in metric horsepower [PS] by the rounded conversion factor of 7.355 * 10-4.

  • Megawatts [MW] ≈ metric horsepower [PS] ÷ 1,359.6216
  • Megawatts [MW] ≈ metric horsepower [PS] * 7.355 * 10-4

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 megawatts [MW] can be achieved using the following calculation method.

  • Megawatts [MW] = metric horsepower [PS] * 735.49875 ÷ 106

Convert megawatts to metric horsepower

Converting megawatts [MW] to metric horsepower [PS] is easy and can be done in two ways. The first method involves multiplication, in which the value in megawatts [MW] is multiplied by the rounded conversion factor of 1,359.6216. The second variant is a division. Here, the value in megawatts [MW] is divided by the rounded conversion factor of 7.355 * 10-4.

  • Metric horsepower [PS] ≈ megawatts [MW] * 1,359.6216
  • Metric horsepower [PS] ≈ megawatts [MW] ÷ (7.355 * 10-4)

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

  • Metric horsepower [PS] = megawatts [MW] ÷ 735.49875 * 106
