What Is This Tool?

This tool enables you to convert power measurements from electric horsepower, a unit used for rating electric motors, to gigajoule per second, a large-scale SI unit of power representing billion joules per second. It is designed to facilitate power comparisons and calculations between small electric motor outputs and very large energy transfer rates.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the power value in horsepower (electric) you want to convert
  • Select horsepower (electric) as the input unit
  • Choose gigajoule/second [GJ/s] as the output unit
  • View the converted power value instantly
  • Use the results to analyze or compare different power systems

Key Features

  • Accurate conversion between horsepower (electric) and gigajoule/second units
  • Supports engineering and power industry applications
  • Clear unit definitions and practical examples
  • Browser-based and easy to use
  • Useful for comparing motor power to large-scale generation capacities

Examples

  • 1000 horsepower (electric) converts to 0.000746 gigajoule/second [GJ/s]
  • 500 horsepower (electric) equals 0.000373 gigajoule/second [GJ/s]

Common Use Cases

  • Reading motor nameplates for pumps, fans, and compressors
  • Sizing electrical controllers for industrial motors
  • Converting motor power ratings to SI units for specifications
  • Expressing large power plant output in gigajoules per second
  • Analyzing peak propulsion power in large engines or rockets

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this tool when you need to compare power metrics across very different scales
  • Apply conversions carefully in engineering specifications and invoices
  • Prefer gigajoule/second for very large continuous power assessments
  • Verify unit consistency when integrating with other energy or power measurements

Limitations

  • The conversion is most relevant for very large power values due to the small factor involved
  • Horsepower (electric) can be impractical for extremely high power levels
  • Gigajoule/second is better suited to large-scale industrial or generation power contexts

Frequently Asked Questions

What is electric horsepower?
Electric horsepower is a power unit defined as exactly 746 watts, commonly used to rate electric motors and drives in the U.S. engineering context.

What does gigajoule per second represent?
A gigajoule per second measures power as one billion joules delivered or converted each second, equivalent to a gigawatt, used for describing very large continuous power.

Why convert from horsepower (electric) to gigajoule/second?
This conversion helps compare motor power ratings with large-scale power generation values, aiding applications across different power magnitudes and engineering fields.

Key Terminology

Horsepower (electric)
A unit of power exactly equal to 746 watts, used mainly to rate electric motors and electric drives.
Gigajoule/second [GJ/s]
A power unit representing one billion joules per second, equivalent to one gigawatt, used for very large power measurements.
