Convert horsepower (metric) hour to kilowatt-second
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (metric) hour [hp*h] to kilowatt-second [kW*s], or Convert kilowatt-second to horsepower (metric) hour.
1 hp*h = 2647.7955 kW*s. To convert horsepower (metric) hour to kilowatt-second, multiply the value by 2647.7955; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kW*s = 0.000377672671473 hp*h). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 hp*h = 2647.7955 kW*s
- 1 kW*s = 0.000377672671473 hp*h
- 10 hp*h = 26477.955 kW*s
- 100 hp*h = 264779.55 kW*s
How to Convert Horsepower (Metric) Hour to Kilowatt-Second
1 hp*h = 2647.7955 kW*s
Example: convert 15 hp*h to kW*s:
15 hp*h = 15 × 2647.7955 kW*s = 39716.9325 kW*s

Horsepower (Metric) Hour
A unit of energy representing the amount of work done by one horsepower over one hour, equivalent to 745.7 joules.
History/Origin
The horsepower hour was historically used to quantify energy in mechanical and engineering contexts, especially in the era of steam and early engines, but has largely been replaced by standard energy units like joules and kilowatt-hours.
Current Use
It is rarely used in modern practice, but may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial applications to measure energy output or consumption related to horsepower-rated equipment.
Kilowatt-Second
A kilowatt-second (kW·s) is a unit of energy equal to the energy transferred or converted when a power of one kilowatt is applied for one second.
History/Origin
The kilowatt-second has been used historically in physics and engineering to quantify energy, especially in contexts where power and time are relevant, but it is less common than other energy units like joules or kilowatt-hours.
Current Use
Today, the kilowatt-second is primarily used in specialized fields such as electrical engineering and energy calculations, often for convenience in measuring short-term energy transfer, but it is largely replaced by the joule in most applications.
