12 kilowatts is an amount of power that is the voltage times the current in amps. So 12 kilowatts could be provided by 100 volts at 120 amps, or 1000 volts at 12 amps.

Equipment is designed to work at a standard voltage, then the current taken is enough for the amount of power it uses.

How do you convert hp to kilowatts?

To convert horsepower (hp) to kilowatts (kW), multiply the horsepower value by 0.7457. This conversion factor accounts for the difference in units between the two. For example, if you have 100 hp, the equivalent in kilowatts would be 74.57 kW.


How many kw and hp in 1 ton?

1 ton is equal to approximately 3.516 kilowatts and 4.715 horsepower.


What is difference between kw and hp?

Kilowatts (kW) and horsepower (hp) are both units of power, with 1 hp equal to approximately 0.746 kW. Kilowatts are a metric unit commonly used in the scientific community, while horsepower is a unit more commonly used in the automotive industry, particularly in the United States. kW is based on the metric system, whereas hp is based on the imperial system.


How many amps to a kilowatt?

The relationship between amps and kilowatts depends on the voltage of the circuit. To calculate the amperage for a given kilowatt value, you need to know the voltage as well. The formula to convert kilowatts to amps is Amps = (kW * 1000) / Volts.


What is the difference between horsepower and kilowatts?

ANSWERHorsepower (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/hour1.34 x 2,655,223 = (approx.) 1,980,000 ft-lbs/hour or 1 hp
