FAQ about Watt to Horsepower Conversion

1 watt (W) is equal to 0.00136 horsepower (hp).

1W = 0.00136hp

The power P in horsepower (hp) is equal to the power P in watt (W) times 0.00136, that conversion formula:

P(hp) = P(W) × 0.00136

One Watt is equal to 0.00136 Horsepower:

1W = 1W × 0.00136 = 0.00136hp

One Horsepower (metric) is equal to 735.4988 Watt:

1hp = 1hp × 735.4988 = 735.4988W

P(hp) = 5(W) × 0.00136 = 0.0068hp
