# Mechanical horsepower to Kilowatts Converter

Enter a value in mechanical horsepower to get its equivalent in kilowatts. Use the inverse button to switch conversion direction.

## Input data

- **Mechanical horsepower** - type: number; default: 1; step: 0.01

## How it works

kW = hp ÷ 1.3410220896.

## Quick examples

- **1 hp → 0.7457 kW** - Mechanical horsepower: 1
- **50 hp → 37.284994 kW** - Mechanical horsepower: 50
- **100 hp → 74.569987 kW** - Mechanical horsepower: 100

## Understanding your result

The result expresses the value entered in mechanical horsepower as kilowatts. Mechanical horsepower (hp) is not exactly the metric horsepower (PS or ch) used on some vehicle listings.
