power output ratios
 

Hi,

I'm looking at brushcutter brochures (brushcouture) but some are rated
in horsepower and some in Kilowatts. Could a kind gardening
mathematician tell me the ratio between these units?

1 horsepower [electric] = 0.746 kilowatt

One HP is about 3/4 of a Kw.

Or, for most purposes, 1 Hp = 3/4 KW.

But watch out - some will quote the power delivered, and some the
power consumed. There can be a significant difference.

the power consumed.

Presumably the difference between the two is available to the operator
for warming their hands during the colder months.

Good old Google knows this - try entering a query such as:

how many kilowatts in 0.23 horsepower
