Example calculation: Power conversion in practice

Let’s illustrate the conversion with an example. The power of a car engine is often stated in horsepower (hp), but in the EU, the official unit is kilowatt (kW): 100 horsepower corresponds to about 73.5 kilowatts (1 hp ≈ 0.7355 kW). The power of home heating appliances is usually stated in watts or kilowatts, for example, a 2,000 W electric heater corresponds to a power of 2 kW. In the United States, the power of air conditioning units is often stated in BTU/h: 12,000 BTU/h corresponds to about 3.5 kilowatts.

The Power Converter is often needed when comparing devices imported from different countries or reading technical specifications that are stated in different units. For example, when assessing the energy efficiency of an appliance, it is useful to know how to convert the power stated by the manufacturer in watts to hourly consumption (kWh) to estimate the device’s annual electricity costs. Engineers and technicians use the converter daily when comparing equipment whose technical specifications are stated according to different standards produced in different countries.
