Kilowatts to Pferdestarke (kW to ps)

The calculator allows you to convert kilowatts to pferdestärke (kW to ps).

Perform the reverse calculation: ps to kW

1 kilowatt = 1.3596 pferdestarke (approximately equal to)
1 pferdestarke = 0.7355 kilowatt (approximately equal to)

To convert kilowatts to pferdestarke (metric horsepower), multiply by 1.3596 (approximately).

Examples

To convert kilowatts (kW) to metric horsepower (PS), you can use the following formula:
1 kW = 1.3596 PS

You can find below some examples:

10 kW = 10 kW x 1.3596 = 13.596 PS
5 kW = 5 kW x 1.3596 = 6.798 PS
3 kW = 3 kW x 1.3596 = 4.079 PS
20 kW = 20 kW x 1.3596 = 27.192 PS
8 kW = 8 kW x 1.3596 = 10.876 PS

Kilowatt

A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). One kilowatt is equal to 1 000 watts or 1 kilojoule per second. "Kilo" is a prefix used in the International System of Units (SI) to denote a factor of 1 000. The prefix "kilo" is abbreviated with the letter "k" and is used to modify the base unit to which it is attached, such as meter, gram or watt.

The symbol for kilowatt (kW) is simply "kW". The "k" represents the prefix "kilo", which means 1 000, and the "W" represents the unit of power, the watt. So the kilowatt is a measure of power that is equal to 1 000 watts.

Pferdestärke

Pferdestärke (abbreviated as PS) is a metric unit of power, commonly used to measure the power output of engines, particularly those used in automobiles. One Pferdestärke is defined as 735.49875 watts, which is approximately equivalent to 0.9863 horsepower. Pferdestärke is often used interchangeably with the metric horsepower (hp), which is another unit of power. While they are not exactly equivalent, one PS is roughly equal to 0.98 hp.

Metric horsepower and "pferdestärke" (often abbreviated as "PS") are actually equivalent units of power. They are both based on the same conversion factor, which is 1 kilowatt (kW) = 1.36 metric horsepower (PS) = 1.36 pferdestärke (PS).

The symbol for Pferdestärke is "PS".
