- 1 hp = 0.000745699871582 MW
- 1 × 0.000745699871582 = 0.000745699871582 MW
How to convert horsepower to megawatts
1 hp = 0.000745699871582 MW, so multiply by 0.000745699871582 to go from horsepower (mechanical, 550 ft·lbf/s) to megawatts. Going the other way, 1 MW = 1,341.0220896 hp.
MW = hp × 0.000745699871582 hp = MW × 1,341.0220896
Worked example:
1 hp = 0.000745699871582 MW 5 × 0.000745699871582 = 0.00372849935791 MW
