What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms power values from metric horsepower, a mechanical power unit, into volt amperes [V*A], which measure apparent power in AC electrical circuits. It helps bridge mechanical and electrical power ratings for practical engineering and technical applications.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in horsepower (metric) that you want to convert
  • Select 'horsepower (metric)' as the input unit
  • Choose 'volt ampere [V*A]' as the target unit
  • Click convert to see the equivalent value in volt amperes

Key Features

  • Converts metric horsepower to volt ampere [V*A] units accurately
  • Suitable for automotive, industrial, and electrical power conversions
  • Clear input and output unit selection for ease of use
  • Browser-based and accessible without installation

Examples

  • Converting 2 horsepower (metric) yields 1470.9975 volt ampere [V*A]
  • Converting 0.5 horsepower (metric) results in 367.749375 volt ampere [V*A]

Common Use Cases

  • Rating engines in vehicles across European and Asian markets
  • Specifying output ratings for small industrial motors and generators
  • Comparing mechanical power to electrical apparent power in technical datasheets
  • Determining apparent power capacity for transformers, UPS, and electrical equipment

Tips & Best Practices

  • Confirm the power factor when interpreting conversion results in AC circuits
  • Use this converter primarily when relating mechanical power ratings to electrical system requirements
  • Double-check units and values before applying in equipment sizing or specifications

Limitations

  • Volt ampere measures apparent power, which may differ from real mechanical power depending on power factor
  • Direct equivalence assumes a power factor of 1 and may not apply in all AC circuit scenarios
  • Mechanical and electrical power units represent different physical quantities, requiring careful interpretation

Frequently Asked Questions

What does metric horsepower represent?
Metric horsepower is a power unit equal to exactly 735.49875 watts, measuring the rate of work done or energy transfer by engines or motors.

What is a volt ampere [V*A] used for?
Volt ampere is the unit of apparent power in AC circuits, calculated as the product of RMS voltage and RMS current, commonly used in electrical equipment ratings.

Why can't I directly equate horsepower to volt amperes in all cases?
Because horsepower measures mechanical power and volt amperes measure electrical apparent power, assumptions about power factor and load must be considered.

Key Terminology

Horsepower (metric)
A mechanical power unit precisely equal to 735.49875 watts, used to express engine and motor power.
Volt ampere [V*A]
The unit of apparent power in AC electrical systems, calculated as RMS voltage times RMS current regardless of phase difference.
Apparent power
The combined magnitude of real power and reactive power in an AC circuit, measured in volt ampere.
