Frequently Asked Questions

What power units are supported?

Kilowatts (kW), horsepower (hp and bhp), watts (W), megawatts (MW), and BTU per hour (BTU/hr). All conversions are bidirectional.

What is the difference between hp and bhp?

Horsepower (hp) is mechanical power. Brake horsepower (bhp) is the power at the engine's output shaft before drivetrain losses. bhp is slightly lower than hp in most contexts.

When would I need BTU/hr conversion?

BTU/hr is used for HVAC systems, heaters, and cooling units. Converting kW to BTU/hr helps size heating/cooling equipment for rooms and buildings.

Are the conversion factors accurate?

Yes. The converter uses standard SI conversion factors: 1 kW = 1.341 hp, 1 hp = 745.7 W, 1 kW = 3412 BTU/hr.

When using Power Converter, is the conversion done locally?

Yes. All conversions run in your browser. No data is transmitted.
