1 Megawatt = 1359.6216 Horsepower (metric)
Key Formulas
Kilowatt → Horsepower (mech)
hp = kW × 1.34102Horsepower (mech) → Kilowatt
kW = hp × 0.7457Watt → Kilowatt
kW = W × 0.001Kilowatt → Watt
W = kW × 1000Formula
PS = MW × 1359.62One megawatt equals 1359.62 metric horsepower (PS). Since 1 MW = 1,000,000 W and 1 PS = 735.5 W, dividing gives 1359.62. Used in European industrial specifications.
