What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms power values from Pferdestärke (ps), a metric horsepower unit historically used in German-speaking countries, into electric horsepower, a unit for electric motor power ratings common in the U.S. It helps compare and communicate engine and motor power across different regions and standards.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the power value in Pferdestärke (ps) in the input field.
  • Select Pferdestärke (ps) as the source unit and electric horsepower as the target unit if required.
  • Click convert to obtain the equivalent power rating in electric horsepower.
  • Review the result to compare or specify equipment power outputs.

Key Features

  • Converts power from Pferdestärke (ps) to electric horsepower accurately based on established conversion rates.
  • Supports comparisons of automotive engine power with electric motor output.
  • Facilitates conversions useful in repair manuals, vehicle brochures, and industrial equipment specifications.
  • Browser-based, easy to use without installation.

Examples

  • 5 pferdestärke (ps) converts to approximately 4.93 horsepower (electric).
  • 10 pferdestärke (ps) equals about 9.86 horsepower (electric).

Common Use Cases

  • Comparing engine power specifications in German and European automobiles with U.S. electric motor ratings.
  • Determining motor power output in industrial equipment using different unit systems.
  • Converting legacy vehicle or machinery power ratings for repair, resale, or documentation purposes.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always verify unit conventions when reviewing power ratings in international or multi-regional contexts.
  • Use this tool to cross-check power output values when preparing technical specifications or invoices.
  • Be aware of the approximate nature of conversion due to unit definition differences.

Limitations

  • Pferdestärke (ps) is not an SI unit and can cause confusion without adequate context.
  • Conversion values may be slightly approximate because mechanical and electric horsepower differ in definition.
  • Not ideal for situations requiring extremely high precision or legal accuracy.
