Formulas for converting power units

Conversion from kW to PS

The power of 1 metric horsepower corresponds to 735.49875 watts.

\(W = PS · 735,49875\)
\(\displaystyle PS=\frac{W}{735.49875}\)

Conversion of kW into British horsepower

The power of 1 horsepower corresponds to 745.70 watts.

\(W = hp · 745,7\)
\(\displaystyle hp=\frac{W}{745.7}\)

Conversion of kW to calories / second

The power of 1 calories / second corresponds to 4.1868 watts.

\(W = cal/s · 4.1868\)
\(\displaystyle cal/s=\frac{W}{4.1868}\)

Conversion from kW to BTU / second

The power of 1 BTU / second corresponds to 1055.05585262 watts.

\(W = BTU/s · 1055.05585262\)
\(\displaystyle BTU/s=\frac{W}{1055.05585262}\)
