1 Megawatt = 1341.0221 Horsepower (mech)
Key Formulas
Kilowatt → Horsepower (mech)
hp = kW × 1.34102Horsepower (mech) → Kilowatt
kW = hp × 0.7457Watt → Kilowatt
kW = W × 0.001Kilowatt → Watt
W = kW × 1000Formula
hp = MW × 1341.02One megawatt equals 1341 mechanical horsepower. Since 1 MW = 1,000,000 W and 1 hp = 745.7 W, dividing gives 1341.02. Used in large industrial motors and power plants.
