Explanation

horsepower and megawatts are units of power. They are used in common measurement contexts. Which one you use depends on the unit system or industry. They are defined at different scales, so the factor is not 1: 1 horsepower = 0.0007456999 megawatts, and 1 megawatts = 1341.022089595 horsepower. Because one megawatts represents a larger amount than one horsepower, the numeric value gets smaller in this direction.

How to convert horsepower to megawatts

  1. Enter the value in horsepower (hp).
  2. Multiply it by 0.0007456999.
  3. The result is the equivalent value in megawatts (MW).
  4. Round the result if needed.

Worked example

5623 × 0.0007456999 = 4.19307038 megawatts
