Convert horsepower (electric) to milliwatt
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (electric) [hp (electric)] to milliwatt [mW], or Convert milliwatt to horsepower (electric).
1 hp (electric) = 746000 mW. To convert horsepower (electric) to milliwatt, multiply the value by 746000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mW = 1.34048257373e-06 hp (electric)). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 hp (electric) = 746000 mW
- 1 mW = 1.34048257373e-06 hp (electric)
- 10 hp (electric) = 7460000 mW
- 100 hp (electric) = 74600000 mW
How to Convert Horsepower (Electric) to Milliwatt
1 hp (electric) = 746000 mW
Example: convert 15 hp (electric) to mW:
15 hp (electric) = 15 × 746000 mW = 11190000 mW

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.
Milliwatt
A milliwatt (mW) is a unit of power equal to one thousandth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The milliwatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a convenient unit for measuring low power levels, especially in electronics and telecommunications, with its usage expanding alongside the adoption of the watt as the standard power unit.
Current Use
Milliwatts are commonly used today in electronics, audio equipment, and wireless communication devices to specify power levels, such as in battery-powered devices, LED brightness, and signal transmission power.
