10 HP to kW Conversion and Formulas

Here we use the formulas explained on our home page to obtain the following results which are rounded to two decimals:

  • hp(I): [kW] = [10] × 0.74569987158227022 = 7.46 kW
  • hp(M): [kW] = [10] × 0.73549875 = 7.35 kW
  • hp(E) US: [kW] = [10] × 0.746 = 7.46 kW
  • hp(E) Europe: [kW] = [10] × 0.735 = 7.35 kW
  • hp(S): [kW] = [10] × 9.810657 = 98.11 kW
