HP (disambiguation)Horsepower (hp) is the name of several non-metric
units of
power. The most occurring conversion of horsepower to watt goes 1 horsepower = 745.7 watts. In scientific discourse, the term "horsepower" is seen as inferior and is rarely used because of its various definitions and the already existent
SI unit for power, the
watt (W). However, use of the term "horsepower" persists as a legacy in many languages and industries, particularly in the
automotive industry because of their continued advertising of maximum power output of
internal-combustion engines in "horsepower" units of measurement.
