Megawatt (MW) to Horsepower, Mechanical (hp) converter

Converting from Megawatt (MW) to Horsepower, Mechanical (hp) | Power

What is Megawatt (MW)

In the realm of power measurement, a megawatt (MW) is a unit used to quantify one million watts. It's commonly utilized when referring to the power output of large-scale systems such as power plants or industrial machinery.

What is Horsepower, Mechanical (hp)

Horsepower, Mechanical (hp) is a unit of power that measures the rate at which work is done. Originally developed by James Watt to compare the power of steam engines to that of horses, it has evolved into a key unit in the field of mechanical engineering.
