Cómo funciona Vatios a CV / HP
Horsepower measures mechanical power, while watts measure electrical or general power. Because one mechanical horsepower equals 745.699872 watts, you convert watts to horsepower by dividing by that factor.
Motors and appliances are often rated in watts, but engines and pumps are commonly quoted in horsepower. Pick the horsepower standard that matches your context — mechanical (imperial), electric, or metric (PS) — since each uses a slightly different conversion factor.
hp = W ÷ 745.699872 (mechanical)hp = W ÷ 746 (electric)hp = W ÷ 735.49875 (metric / PS)1 mechanical hp = 745.7 W; 1 electric hp = 746 W; 1 metric hp = 735.5 W.
