How many horsepower equals 1500 watts?

Answer 1

1 hp equals 746 Watts. You do the math.

Update:

There are a few different conversion rates for horsepower (metric, electric, etc), but approximately 1 watt = 0.0134 horsepower.

Therefore 2500W = approx 3.35 horsepower, or 3.4 using metric horsepower.

Answer 2

KW = (250 hp x 746 w) / 1000 = 186.5 KW

Remember that 250 HP is the output power so in order to determine the input power you need to know the efficiency (eff)

Input = output / eff

Example with eff = 90%:

Input Power = 186.5 / .90 = 207 KW input.

Answer 3

1,500 watts is equal to 2.01 horsepower.
