Formula & assumptions
kW = HP × conversion factor. HP = kW / conversion factor. Factors: mechanical 0.7456999; metric 0.7354988; electric 0.746.
Choose the horsepower definition stated on the equipment data. This is a unit conversion only: it does not convert motor shaft output to electrical input or account for efficiency. Factors follow the rounded NIST table.
