Formula
1 PS = 0.735499 kW
kilowatts = metric horsepower (PS) × 0.73549875 — reverse: metric horsepower (PS) = kilowatts × 1.359621617
The factor is derived from the SI definitions of both units (base unit: W) as listed in NIST SP 811; results on this page are shown to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.
Worked examples
- 5 PS = 3.67749 kW
- 12.5 PS = 9.19373 kW
- 100 PS = 73.5499 kW
