1 kw = 1.341 HP so 150 HP = 111.8 KW</P>


or</P>


1 horsepower is equivalent to 746 watts so we have 150*746=111,900 </P>


Watts are just a rate at which energy is supplied. </P>

Well electric borrows the idea. A watt is a measure of power, and power is a measure of how much "work" something is able to do. </P>
