What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms power values from Pferdestärke (ps), a metric horsepower historically used in some European countries, into kilowatts (kW), the SI unit of power. It simplifies understanding and comparing engine power ratings, electrical appliances, and mechanical outputs using a consistent measurement system.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the power value in pferdestarke (ps) you want to convert
  • Select pferdestarke (ps) as the input unit and kilowatt (kW) as the output unit
  • Initiate the conversion to obtain the equivalent power in kilowatts
  • Review the converted value for use in technical or scientific contexts

Key Features

  • Converts power units from pferdestarke (ps) to kilowatt (kW) easily
  • Based on the defined conversion rate of 1 ps = 0.73549875 kW
  • Supports understanding automotive and machinery power specifications
  • Browser-based and simple to use without installation
  • Helps standardize historical or regional power units to SI units

Examples

  • 5 pferdestarke (ps) equals 3.67749375 kilowatt (kW)
  • 10 pferdestarke (ps) equals 7.3549875 kilowatt (kW)

Common Use Cases

  • Converting engine power ratings in German and European automotive specifications
  • Translating vehicle brochure power outputs into standardized units for comparison
  • Expressing power of older industrial machinery using an internationally recognized unit
  • Assessing electrical and mechanical power for scientific research and engineering
  • Standardizing power units in vehicle maintenance documentation and resale listings

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always verify you have selected the correct units before converting
  • Use the converter for understanding regional or historical power ratings
  • Consider converted kilowatt values when comparing international engine specs
  • Use the tool as a reference when dealing with vehicle repair manuals and brochures
  • Be aware that pferdestärke (ps) is not an SI unit, so conversions help in scientific contexts

Limitations

  • Pferdestärke (ps) is a regional and historical unit, not standardized as an SI unit
  • Minor definition differences or rounding may affect results in high-precision needs
  • The converter provides approximate equivalence but does not improve unit precision
  • Conversion is essential because ps is less commonly used outside certain European regions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Pferdestärke (ps)?
Pferdestärke (PS) is a metric horsepower unit historically used in German-speaking countries to describe mechanical power, defined as 75 kilogram-force metre per second and equivalent to 735.49875 watts.

Why convert Pferdestärke (ps) to kilowatt (kW)?
