What is the difference between Shaft horsepower and Brake horsepower?
Shaft h-p (horsepower) is the power output of an engine. Brake h-p is the power available at the wheels of a vehicle - or at whatever other type of load the engine is set-up to drive. The difference between Shaft h-p and Brake h-p is what are known as Drivetrain Losses. The above is incorrect. The power output at the wheels of a car, truck, or other land vehicle is known as the "wheel horsepower". The Brake horsepower is the horsepower measured at the output of the engine's crankshaft. So called, because it was measured by fitting a braking apparatus to the engine's flywheel to maintain a constant load on the engine during the power measurement. The difference between brake horsepower and wheel horsepower is attributed to friction losses in the drivetrain (transmission, driveshaft, differential, axles, wheel bearings, etc). Otherwise known as "drivetrain losses". Shaft horsepower, on the other hand, is a measurement of the horsepower at the driving end of the propeller shaft of a ship, or an airplane, driven by a reciprocating internal combustion or steam engine. Shaft horsepower is similar to wheel horsepower, but distinct from brake horsepower.
