Power Converter
Quickly calculate energy rates and mechanical power outputs.
High-Precision Online Power Converter
Power represents the rate at which work is performed or energy is transferred. In engineering, automotive, and electrical fields, being able to switch between Watts and Horsepower is essential. Our tool offers a seamless way to track energy output across all major systems.
How to Use the Power Converter
- Enter Power: Type the value into the "Value" field.
- Source Unit: Choose the unit you're converting from (e.g., Kilowatts).
- Target Unit: Choose the unit you want the result in (e.g., Horsepower).
- Real-time Update: The "Result" box displays the equivalent value instantly.
Understanding Power Units
- Watt (W): The SI unit of power, equivalent to one joule per second. 1 kW = 1,000 W.
- Horsepower (hp): A unit used mostly in the automotive and mechanical industries. 1 hp (mechanical) is about 745.7 Watts.
- BTU/h: British Thermal Units per hour, commonly used in the HVAC industry to measure heating and cooling capacity.
