- 1 MW = 1341.0220896 hp
- 1 × 1341.0220896 = 1341.0220896 hp
How to convert megawatts to horsepower
1 MW = 1,341.0220896 hp, so multiply by 1,341.0220896 to go from megawatts to horsepower (mechanical, 550 ft·lbf/s). Going the other way, 1 hp = 0.000745699871582 MW.
hp = MW × 1,341.0220896 MW = hp × 0.000745699871582
Worked example:
1 MW = 1341.0220896 hp 5 × 1341.0220896 = 6705.11044798 hp
