BHP to kW Conversion Calculator
A Brake Horsepower (BHP) to Kilowatts (kW) Calculator is a tool that converts engine power measurements between mechanical horsepower (BHP) and kilowatts (kW).
- 1 BHP ≈ 0.7457 kW
- 1 kW ≈ 1.341 BHP
This converter is widely used in automotive, mechanical engineering, and industrial applications where power measurements need standardization.
Uses of BHP to kW Calculator
- Automotive Industry – Compares engine performance (cars, bikes, trucks).
- Industrial Machinery – Rates motor power in kW for electrical systems.
- Aerospace & Marine Engineering – Converts propulsion power units.
- Energy Sector – Standardizes power measurements in renewable energy systems.
Examples
Example 1 (Car Engine):
- Input: 150 BHP
- Calculation: 150 × 0.7457 = 111.855 kW 150×0.7457=111.855kW
- Output: 150 BHP = 111.855 kW
Example 2 (Industrial Motor):
- Input: 75 BHP
- Calculation: 75 × 0.7457 = 55.9275 kW 75×0.7457=55.9275kW
- Output: 75 BHP = 55.928 kW
Example 3 (High-Performance Engine):
- Input: 300 BHP
- Calculation: 300 × 0.7457 = 223.71 kW 300×0.7457=223.71kW
- Output: 300 BHP = 223.71 kW
