FAQ

What is the conversion factor from MW to PS?
1 MW equals 1359.622 PS. To convert, multiply the value in megawatts by 1359.622.
How do I convert 1 MW to PS?
1 MW = 1359.62 PS. For any value, multiply by 1359.622.
How do I convert PS back to MW?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.0007354987. So 1 PS = 0.000735499 MW.
When would I need to convert megawatt to metric horsepower?
Power conversions are common when comparing motor ratings (often kW or hp), thermal duty (BTU/hr or kW), and utility consumption in mixed-unit projects.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
