Horsepower (British) to Milliwatts conversion

How to convert horsepower (british) to milliwatts?

Sure, converting Horsepower (British) to Milliwatts involves understanding the relationship between these units of power.

1 British Horsepower (BHP) is defined as 745.7 watts.

To convert from Horsepower to Milliwatts, you can use the following conversion factor: 1 BHP = 745,700 milliwatts (since 1 watt = 1,000 milliwatts).

So, the conversion process is: $\text{Horsepower (British)} \times 745,700 = \text{Milliwatts}$ For 1 Horsepower (British): $1 \text{ BHP} \times 745,700 = 745,700 \text{ watts}$

Real World Examples:

1. Car Engine Power:

   • A standard family car engine typically produces around 150 BHP.
   • Using the conversion factor: $150 \text{ BHP} = 150 \times 745,700 \text{ milliwatts} = 111,855,000 \text{ milliwatts}$

2. Lawnmower:

   • A typical gas-powered lawnmower engine might have around 6 BHP.
   • Using the conversion factor: $6 \text{ BHP} = 6 \times 745,700 \text{ milliwatts} = 4,474,200 \text{ milliwatts}$

3. Electric Motor in a Blender:

   • A household blender may have a motor with power around 0.5 BHP.
   • Using the conversion factor: $0.5 \text{ BHP} = 0.5 \times 745,700 \text{ milliwatts} = 372,850 \text{ milliwatts}$

These examples show how horsepower can be used to describe the power of various engines and motors, and how to convert it into milliwatts for different applications.
