To convert kilowatts (kW) to horsepower (hp), you can use the following conversion factor:
1 kW = 1.341 hp
So, to convert from kilowatts to horsepower, you multiply the kilowatt value by 1.341.
The formula is:
Horsepower (hp) = Kilowatts (kW) × 1.341
For example, if you want to convert 10 kW to horsepower, you would do:
10 kW × 1.341 = 13.41 hp
Therefore, 10 kilowatts is equal to 13.41 horsepower.
