One horsepower is defined as the amount of power required to lift 550 pounds (or 250 kilograms) at a rate of one foot (or 0.3048 meters) per second. In metric units, one horsepower is equivalent to 735.5 watts. Therefore, to convert horsepower (hp) to watts (W), you can use the following formula: 1 hp = 735.5 W Conversely, to convert watts (W) to horsepower (hp), you can use the following formula: 1 W = 0.00136 hp |
