What is HP? What is W? How many watts is 1HP? These are the questions that many air conditioner users are concerned about. To find the answer to how many watts is 1HP, please refer to the article below by Mytour!
Measurement units for HP, W, KW, BTU
These are the units used to indicate the power levels of various devices. Most measurement units such as HP, W, etc., are mainly related to machinery with engines, motors such as industrial pumps, tractors, plows, air conditioners, etc.
Up to now, these power measurement units have not been standardized because each type of equipment will use different power units.
What is HP?
HP is the abbreviation of the term Horsepower and is often referred to as horsepower or horsepower by Vietnamese people. It is also one of the units used to measure power or work completion speed.
In other words, HP is defined as the total power needed to lift a mass of 75kg to a height of 1 meter in 1 second (1HP = 75kg m/s). In France, horsepower is denoted as CV (Chevaux Vapeur) while in England it is denoted as HP. Therefore, CV is also HP - the unit of horsepower measurement.
Engineer James Watt first used the term HP when comparing the power of a steam engine to that of a horse. Later, HP was expanded to apply to the output power of various types of piston engines inside cars, electric motors, and more.

Watt (symbol W) is a unit of power measurement and is derived from the International System of Units (SI). This term is calculated as 1 joule per second and is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer.
KiloWatt is a multiple of Watt and is abbreviated as KW. In other words, Watt and KiloWatt are units used to measure electrical power. Simply relying on this indicator, people can calculate the amount of electrical energy consumed by an electrical device.
What is BTU?
BTU is short for British Thermal Unit and is a commonly used unit of measurement in the refrigeration industry. Simply put, BTU can be understood as a unit of heat, meaning the heat value of fuel in air conditioning or heating devices. BTU is widely used in Western countries such as the US, UK, and more.
Note: BTU is not the power consumption of electricity but rather the cooling or heating power index of the device.
BTU is the cooling power index of an air conditioner (Source: Internet)How many watts is 1HP?
1HP is conventionally defined as 745.699872W. However, not every country uses this exact figure. Due to the lack of specific standards, they may randomly choose between 736W – 746W when comparing to 1HP.
To convert HP to W, you can apply the following formulas:
In the field of mechanical/hydraulic:
- 1HP (l) = 745.6998W
For example: 10HP (l) = 7456.9987W
Electrical power horsepower:
- 1HP (e) = 746W
For example: 10HP (e) = 7460W
Metric horsepower:
- 1HP (m) = 735.49875W
For example: 10HP (m) = 7354.9875W
How many watts is 1HP? 1HP = 746W in electrical horsepower (Source: Internet)How many KW is 1HP electricity
Since KW is a multiple of W (1KW = 1000W), applying a similar calculation method will help you easily find the answer.
So 1HP = 745.699872W = 0.745699872KW and naturally, the actual value will fall within the range from 0.736KW to 0.746KW.
How many BTU is 1HP
- By convention, 1HP = 9000BTU. From there, you will have the conversion table as follows:

How much is 1HP in electrical KW?
1HP (e) = 746W = 0.746KW
How many KW is 15HP?
Since 1HP = 0.74KW, then 15HP = 11.19KW
How many HP is 1 KW?
Since 1HP (horsepower) = 0.745699872KW, then 1KW = 1.341022089HP.
How many KW is 1HP in cooling KW?
1HP (l) = 745.6998W = 0.7456998KW.
How many watts is 2HP
2HP = 745.6998W x 2 = 1491.3996W
How many watts is 1 CV?
1 CV equals 736 watts.
How many watts is 1.5HP
Based on the conversion formula 1HP = 746W, 1.5HP equals 1119W.
How many watts is 50HP
Since 1HP = 746W, then 50HP = 37300W.

To check the wattage of your air conditioner, you can refer to the sticker label, model symbol of the unit, specifically:
- Checking the label: Refer to the BTU/h information on the label to determine the cooling capacity of the device. For example: label indicates 1HP (1 horse) = 9000BTU = 746W, 2HP = 18000BTU = 1492W, etc.
- Using the device model: If the label does not specify BTU/h, you can also look at the device model to determine the exact 99% of how much horsepower the air conditioner is. Specifically, in the middle of the model range, there will be the number 9 or 10 equivalent to the cooling capacity of 1HP = 9000BTU = 746W; While 12 or 13 corresponds to 1.5 HP = 12000BTU = 1119W. And 18 will equal 2HP = 18000BTU = 1492W, etc. This method can be applied to most air conditioner models on the Vietnamese market, except for the Daikin brand.
Checking the label can quickly help you determine how many watts an air conditioner is (Source: Internet)Hopefully, with the information above, you have learned how many watts is 1HP and the basic power measurement terms in the machinery field.
