Converting kilowatts (kW) to brake horsepower (BHP) is essential for understanding engine power outputs in different measurement systems. One mechanical brake horsepower is equal to approximately 0.7457 kilowatts. To convert kW to BHP, divide the power in kilowatts by 0.7457. For example, a 100 kW engine produces about 134.1 BHP. Conversely, to convert BHP to kW, multiply the power in BHP by 0.7457. These conversions are crucial for comparing engine specifications across regions that use different units of measurement.
