Convert horsepower (metric) to kilojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (metric) [hp (metric)] to kilojoule/second [kJ/s], or Convert kilojoule/second to horsepower (metric).
1 hp (metric) = 0.73549875 kJ/s. To convert horsepower (metric) to kilojoule/second, multiply the value by 0.73549875; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kJ/s = 1.3596216173 hp (metric)). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Horsepower (Metric)
The metric horsepower (hp) is a unit of power defined as exactly 735.5 watts, used to measure the power output of engines and motors.
History/Origin
The metric horsepower was introduced in the late 19th century as a standardized unit to quantify engine power, primarily in Europe, replacing traditional units like the imperial horsepower. It was adopted for consistency in engineering and automotive industries.
Current Use
Today, the metric horsepower is used mainly in automotive, engineering, and industrial contexts to specify engine power, especially in regions that utilize the metric system. It is also used in some countries for rating motor and engine capacities.
Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
