Convert pferdestarke to watts
Pferdestarke
Pferdestarke (German for "horse strength", symbol: PS) is the German name for metric horsepower, equal to 735.49875 watts. It is defined as the power needed to lift 75 kilograms one metre in one second under standard gravity. While legally replaced by the kilowatt in the EU for motor vehicle type approval since 1992, PS remains widely used colloquially in Germany, Austria, and many other countries for engine power ratings.
Watt
The watt (symbol: W ) is a unit of power. In the International System of Units (SI) it is defined as a derived unit of 1 joule per second, and is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. In SI base units, the watt is described as kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −3 , which can be demonstrated to be coherent by dimensional analysis. The watt is named after James Watt, an 18th-century Scottish inventor.
