Convert between Horsepower (metric) and other Power units.

Horsepower (Metric) as a Unit of Power

Horsepower, often abbreviated as hp, is a unit of power that quantifies the rate at which work is done. The metric horsepower, in particular, is used primarily in Europe and is defined as 735.5 watts. This metric unit of power was derived from the needs of the steam engine and was popularized by James Watt in the 18th century. It serves as a useful measure for comparing the power output of engines, such as those in cars, motorcycles, and other machinery.

The metric horsepower is significant in the automotive and engineering fields, as it enables consumers and engineers to understand and compare the performance capabilities of different machines. Furthermore, it helps in assessing energy efficiency and operational effectiveness. Understanding horsepower is essential for evaluating mechanical systems and ensuring optimal performance in various applications.
