Horsepower is simply the Imperial unit of measurement for power. To a large extent, this has now been replaced by the SI unit, the watt. For example, car engines are now rated in kilowatts rather than horsepower.
One horsepower is equivalent to 746 watts.
Power is simply the rate of doing work. There is no such thing as 'electrical power', 'mechanical power', etc.

Electrical power is expressed in watts or?
Electrical power is expressed in watts or in jouls per secondAnother AnswerThere is no such thing as 'electrical power'. Power is simply a rate: the rate of doing work. Power can be measured in watts (in the SI system) or in horsepower (in the Imperial system). There is no reason why the power of a heater can't be measured in horsepower or the power of a car can't be measured in watts.

How many ampere in one horsepower?
There are no 'volt amperes' in a horsepower. A volt ampere is used to measure 'apparent power', which is an electrical quantity. In other words, you are trying to compare apples with Oranges. You can convert watts to horsepower, because they both measure the same thing: power.
What unit is used to express electrical power?
Electrical power is also measured in Watts.
How do you convert horsepower to volts on semis?
You're trying to convert mechanical force to voltage, and that doesn't work the way you think it does. The voltage doesn't change on account of the truck's horsepower - that's the alternator and voltage regulator which supplies electrical current.
What does conversion of electrical power to mechanical power mean?
There is no such thing as 'electrical power' or 'mechanical power' or, in fact, any other sort of power. Power is simply a rate -the rate of doing work. In SI, power is measured in watts. An obsolete unit of power is a horsepower. Although, in the Unites States, the power of an engine is usually measured in horsepower, elsewhere it is measured in watts (or, more usually, kilowatts).So, when an engineer describes converting electrical power to mechanical power, what he actually means is the rate of converting electrical energy to mechanical energy.
How many watt power in horse power?
