Conversion Basis
Power is the rate of doing work or transferring energy. It is used for pumps, motors, construction equipment, and thermal loads.
target power = source power x source-to-watt factor / target-to-watt factor
Common Examples
- 10 kW = 13.4102 hp
- 1 hp = 745.7 W
- 1 kW = 3,412.14 Btu/h
Engineering Use and Limitations
- This tool uses mechanical horsepower; metric and boiler horsepower have different definitions.
- Motor input power, shaft power, and hydraulic output power differ by efficiency losses.
- Use consistent time bases when converting power to energy consumption.
