Convert horsepower (electric) to megajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (electric) [hp (electric)] to megajoule/second [MJ/s], or Convert megajoule/second to horsepower (electric).
1 hp (electric) = 0.000746 MJ/s. To convert horsepower (electric) to megajoule/second, multiply the value by 0.000746; to go the other way, divide by it (1 MJ/s = 1340.48257373 hp (electric)). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Horsepower (Electric)
Electric horsepower (hp) is a unit of power used to measure the rate at which electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy or work, equivalent to approximately 746 watts.
History/Origin
The electric horsepower was developed as an adaptation of the mechanical horsepower to quantify electrical power output, especially in electric motors and generators. It became a standard unit in electrical engineering to express the power of electric motors and appliances.
Current Use
Electric horsepower is used primarily in specifying the power of electric motors, generators, and other electrical devices, particularly in industries where electrical power measurement is essential for performance and efficiency assessments.
Megajoule/second
A megajoule per second (MJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one megajoule of energy transferred or converted per second, where 1 megajoule equals 1,000,000 joules.
History/Origin
The megajoule per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify large-scale power, especially in fields like physics and energy systems, as a convenient unit for expressing high power levels. It is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second).
Current Use
Today, MJ/s is primarily used in scientific research, energy production, and engineering to describe high power outputs, such as in power plants, large-scale energy systems, and theoretical calculations involving energy transfer rates.
