Convert horsepower (electric) to newton meter/second
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (electric) [hp (electric)] to newton meter/second [N*m/s], or Convert newton meter/second to horsepower (electric).
How to Convert Horsepower (Electric) to Newton Meter/second
1 hp (electric) = 746 N*m/s
Example: convert 15 hp (electric) to N*m/s:
15 hp (electric) = 15 × 746 N*m/s = 11190 N*m/s

Horsepower (Electric)
Electric horsepower (hp) is a unit of power used to measure the rate at which electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy or work, equivalent to approximately 746 watts.
History/Origin
The electric horsepower was developed as an adaptation of the mechanical horsepower to quantify electrical power output, especially in electric motors and generators. It became a standard unit in electrical engineering to express the power of electric motors and appliances.
Current Use
Electric horsepower is used primarily in specifying the power of electric motors, generators, and other electrical devices, particularly in industries where electrical power measurement is essential for performance and efficiency assessments.
Newton Meter/second
A unit of power representing one newton meter of work done per second, equivalent to a watt.
History/Origin
The newton meter/second has been used in physics and engineering to quantify power, especially in contexts involving torque and rotational work, aligning with the SI system's units for work and time.
Current Use
Primarily used in engineering and physics to measure power in systems involving torque and rotational motion, often interchangeably with watts in SI units.
