Convert kilowatts to mechanical horsepower, or BTU per hour, when a motor and an HVAC sheet disagree.
| Result | – |
Use this for motors, heaters, and electrical loads that mix W, kW, hp, and BTU/h. Type the power, pick the unit on the nameplate, then pick the unit you want.
Everything is converted through the watt. hp here is mechanical horsepower (about 746 W), not metric PS/CV. This is power (a rate), not energy (kWh).
Value: The power number you have.
From: The unit on the nameplate or the spec.
To: The unit you want to compare it in.
Result: The same power in the To unit.
