ANSWER

Horsepower (hp) is a measurement unit that measures power in foot pounds per time (ft-lbs/t).

Kilowatts (kW - 1000 watts) is a measurement unit that measures the work done when a force of one newton moves the point of its application a distance of one metre in the direction of the force.

kW is the capacity to do work (like a standing horse)

kWh is a measure of power - the amount of work done in one hour *(horsepower)

*Horsepower is the rate at which a horse can do work in a given amount of time (distance x force/time):

550 ft-lbs./sec or 33,000 ft-lbs/minute or 1,980,000 ft-lbs/hour.

1 kW = 1.34 hp and 1 kW = 2,655,223 ft-lb/hour

1.34 x 2,655,223 = (approx.) 1,980,000 ft-lbs/hour or 1 hp

What is the difference between brake horsepower and horsepower?

The difference between brake horsepower and horsepower or wheel horsepower, they are the same thing, is that brake horse power is the power produced by the crank. The wheel horsepower is the amount of power delivered to the wheels. Brake horsepower refers to the method used to test the engine. A brake is attached to the engine and used to maintain the engine at a constant RPM at full throttle. The delivered power output is then a simple calculation of RPM times torque. Horse power is based on the average amount of work that a horse could do in a day. It is taken to be 746watts. well you guessed it engine output is also specified in kilowatts so divide by 746 and you have horsepower. As stated above it is all the same thing. There is a difference between advertised horsepower and brake horsepower. Advertised horsepower is what a manufacturer will rate its engine/automobile/machine to produce. Brake horsepower is the actual measured horsepower, for example, of a motor on an engine dynamometer.
