This calculator, performing the conversion by multiplying the engine power expressed in kW by a factor of 1.3596 (that is, using a conversion factor of 1 hp = 1.35962 kW), converts horsepower in the car to power expressed in kW, using generally accepted coefficient.

How many kilowatts are in one horsepower and vice versa?

  • 1 kW = 1.3596 hp (for metric calculus);
  • 1 kW = 1.3783 hp (English standard);
  • 1 kW = 1.34048 hp (electric “horse”).

As you can see, there are several units of measurement called “horsepower”, but, as a rule, what is meant is the so-called “metric horsepower”, which is equal to ≈0.7354 kW. But in the USA and Great Britain, horsepower in cars is equal to 0.7456 kW, that is, 75 kgf m/s, which is approximately 1.0138 metric. If we convert the power of 1 horsepower to kilowatts in industry or energy, then ≈0.746. Therefore, for the accuracy of the result, before using our kW to hp power converter, decide which standard of horses you need to choose.

How to use a kW to hp power converter

  1. To convert “horsepower to kilowatts” or vice versa, you first need to choose one of three standards.
  2. Then select the unit to convert to kW/W or HP.
  3. Enter a value in the field you want to convert.

Why you can use an online horsepower converter

This calculator for converting power units in the international number system to the one used in the CIS and Russian standards will help not only find out how much HP. in 1 kW, but also to correctly convert kilowatts into horsepower, which are used in various documentation, including for calculating transport tax and compulsory motor liability insurance.

Tariffs (prices) in the electric power industry are usually understood as a system of price rates, according to which calculations are made both for the electricity itself and for services that are provided on the retail or wholesale market. This definition is established by the Law of the Russian Federation “On Electric Power Industry”.

In relation to the population, we can say that tariffs/prices are the cost of the electricity we consume. The amount of such energy is measured in kWh (kilowatt-hours), and the cost of each kWh is set by the tariff. As an example, the energy consumption can be simply household appliance: the iron has a power of 1 kW, if you use it without interruption for 4 hours, then 4 kWh will be consumed (the price of each kWh is regulated by the tariff).

It should be noted that in the Russian Federation the electricity tariff system is quite complex. In this article we will try to understand its main features.

Who and how calculates electricity tariffs for the meter?

Local executive authorities in the field of tariff regulation set electricity tariffs. The main of these organizations are:

  • Department of Prices and Tariffs;
  • Regional Energy Commission;
  • Management of tariffs and prices.

The basis for calculating tariffs for the population and categories equivalent to them are the methods developed by the Federal Tariff Service. After the final calculation of the tariff, the local authority issues a resolution, which must be published both in print media and on the official website of this authority.

Tariffs are reviewed, as a rule, once a year. In past periods, tariffs changed from the beginning of the year (in January), but for the last few years, electricity tariffs have increased in the middle of the year (in July). According to experts, this change in timing is due to the desire of local executive authorities to limit the growth of inflation, which, as a rule, showed significant positive dynamics at the beginning of each year.

Electricity: how much does a kilowatt cost in 2019?

The general regulator of tariffs in the Russian Federation is the state, and in each specific case the rates are set by regional authorities. We hasten to announce that in 2019... The government made a gift to the population and divided the tariff increase into two stages, thereby reducing the financial burden for the population. The first increase occurred on January 1, 2019 by 1.7%, and on July 1, 2019 the second increase in tariff rates by 2.4% came into force.

Cost of 1 kW of electricity according to the meter for 2019 in Moscow and residents of New Moscow

For Moscow, the price per kilowatt of metered electricity in 2019, from January 1, will increase by an average of 1.7% compared to the previous year. For those who are interested in how much 1 kW of electricity costs (according to the meter) for the first half of 2019, we provide the table below:

Electricity tariffs in Moscow for 2019 for the 1st and 2nd half of the year

Tariff name and its parameters Tariff size
from 01/01/2019 (1st half of the year) from 07/01/2019 (2nd half of the year)
1 The main population living in gasified urban houses
1.1 Flat rate tariff 5,47 5,47
1.2 Two-part tariff differentiated by day zone*
Peak zone 6,29 6,29
Night 1,95 2,13
1.3
Peak zone 6,57 6,57
Half-peak zone 5,47 5,47
Night 1,95 2,13
2 Consumers living in residential premises with stationary electric stoves and/or electric heating systems
2.1 Flat rate tariff 4,37 4,65
2.2
Peak zone 5,03 5,35
Night 1,37 1,50
2.3 Three-part tariff differentiated by day zones
Peak zone 5,25 5,58
Half-peak zone 4,37 4,65
Night 1,37 1,50
3 Consumers classified as population
3.1 Flat rate tariff 3,83
3.2 Two-part tariff with differentiation by day zones
Peak zone 4,41
Night 1,89
3.3 Three-part tariff differentiated by day zones
Peak zone 4,60
Half-peak zone 3,83
Night 1,89

Of course, such tariffs cannot be called low, however, it is worth noting that they correspond to the level of salaries and the general standard of living of the population of the Moscow region.

How the day is divided into zones

A single tariff (another name is single-rate) is considered to be a tariff at which the price of electricity is the same throughout the day.

A 2-phase tariff is a tariff that assumes that electricity costs differently during the day (depending on the specific time interval: cheaper at night than during the day):

  • Daily rate – from 07.00 to 23.00;

There is also a differentiated electricity tariff, which implies the following intervals:

  • Peak zone – from 07.00 to 09.00 and from 17.00 to 20.00;
  • Half-peak zone - from 09.00 to 17.00 and from 20.00 to 23.00;
  • Night rate - from 23.00 to 07.00.

* electricity tariffs within the social norm of consumption.

The following average rates apply for the supply of electricity in Russian cities:

  • The cost of 1 kW with electric stoves in Russian cities ranges from 1 rub. up to 4 rubles.
  • The cost of 1 kW with gas stoves ranges from 1 rub. up to 5.5 rubles.

The information above allows us to conclude that citizens of the Russian Federation will still have to pay more for electricity, but the largest increase in tariffs by 2.4% occurred only from 07/01/2019.

Social norm for electricity consumption and current tariffs

Please note that electricity rates will become even more confusing in the coming period. The reason for this will be the introduction of a social norm for electricity consumption. The point here is that a predetermined amount electrical energy the household has the opportunity to receive at a social (“reduced”) tariff, and everything that will be consumed in excess of the established norm. It will be necessary to pay at a rate that is 30% higher.

This means that there will be a doubling of the gradation of tariffs, namely: if at the moment there is a single one-rate tariff for electricity for the population of rural areas, then after the innovation of the social norm there will already be 2 such tariffs (within the limit of the social norm and exceeding it).

It is also important that the social norm has a clear link to the number of residents who are officially registered and live in a given living space. Now subscribers will have to not only calculate the amount of payment for electricity by multiplying the consumed kWh. at the current tariff, but also to calculate, based on the number of registered residents, which part of the electricity is included in the social norm, and which already exceeds it.

It should be noted that for those categories of citizens who will not be able to pay for electricity, subsidies are provided, through which it will be possible to partially cover household expenses for the provision of utility services.

What are the tariffs for rural areas and for the city?

To a large extent, electricity tariffs depend on the area in which the consumer lives (city or rural area). Thus, the tariff in rural areas will be 30% cheaper than in urban areas.

This point has its own nuances, namely: the reduced (preferential) tariff applies only in rural settlements. Whereas in the case when a village, both a dacha and a cottage (for example: DNT, SNT, etc.) does not have the status of a rural municipality (is not located within the boundaries of a rural settlement), then residents will have to pay for electricity according to the tariffs provided for the city. The same rule fully applies to urban settlements (urban-type settlements). Although the standard of living in them, as well as their amenities, does not differ significantly from villages and villages, residents of such urban settlements must pay for consumed electricity at the tariffs provided for the city.

In addition to the above information, we invite readers to watch a video that will tell you exactly how to calculate the cost of 1 kW of electricity and what this amount consists of.

In conclusion, it should be noted that electricity bills should be paid on time and at the tariffs that are provided in a particular region. Only in this case will subscribers not have any problems with regulatory authorities.

1 kW equals 1.3596 hp. when calculating engine power.
1 hp equals 0.7355 kW when calculating engine power.

Story

Horsepower (hp) is a non-systemic unit of power that appeared around 1789 with the advent of steam engines. Inventor James Watt coined the term “horsepower” to clearly show how much more economical his machines were than live draft power. Watt concluded that on average one horse could lift a load of 180 pounds 181 feet per minute. Rounding the calculations in pound-feet per minute, he decided that the horsepower would be equal to 33,000 of these same pound-feet per minute. Of course, the calculations were taken for a long period of time, because for a short time a horse can “develop” a power of about 1000 kgf m/s, which is approximately equal to 13 horsepower. This power is called boiler horsepower.

There are several units of measurement in the world called "horsepower". In European countries, Russia and the CIS, as a rule, horsepower refers to the so-called “metric horsepower”, equal to approximately 735 watts (75 kgf m/s).

In the UK and US automotive industries, the most common HP is equates to 746 W, which is equal to 1.014 metric horsepower. Also used in US industry and energy are electric horsepower (746 W) and boiler horsepower (9809.5 W).
