How it's calculated

All units are converted through the SI base unit.

1 kW = 1.341 hp. European motor plates sometimes show PS (metric horsepower), which is about 1.4% smaller than imperial horsepower. Heating and cooling equipment is often rated in BTU/h or tons of refrigeration (1 TR = 3.517 kW).
