Horsepower (Mechanic)
Mechanical horsepower (hp) is a unit of power that measures the rate at which work is done. One mechanical horsepower is equivalent to approximately 745.7 watts. It is often used to rate the power output of engines and motors.
Kilowatts
A kilowatt (kW) is equal to 1,000 watts. It is commonly used to express the power output of engines and the power consumption of electrical devices. For example, household appliances and electric vehicles are often rated in kilowatts.
