What is Power Conversion?

Converts between watts (W), kilowatts (kW), horsepower (hp), and megawatts (MW). Useful for engines, electrical devices, and energy systems.

Key Relations

• 1 kW = 1000 W
• 1 hp (mechanical) ≈ 745.7 W
• 1 MW = 1000 kW

Example

Convert 150 hp to kW: 150 × 0.7457 ≈ 111.86 kW.

FAQs
