Detailed explanation-1: -PS is calculated in the exact same format as horsepower, however, it converts the entire equation into metric units as such it is also known as metric horsepower. It is important to note that 1PS is equal to 0.98 HP and is equivalent to the power needed to lift a 75kg mass one meter vertically in one second.
Detailed explanation-2: -PS or PferdStarke is the metric measure of horsepower. It is the equivalent of 98.6% of one HP. The official measure in the European Union is kW – kilowatts-but is rarely used in everyday descriptions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Although it may seem safe to assume that one horsepower is the output a horse is capable of creating at any one time, that is incorrect. In fact, the maximum output of a horse can be up to 15 horsepower, and the maximum output of a human is a bit more than a single horsepower.
Detailed explanation-4: -A power level of 1 hp is approximately equivalent to 746 watts (W) or 0.746 kilowatts (kW). To convert from horsepower to watts, multiply by 746. To convert from watts to horsepower, multiply by 0.00134. To convert from horsepower to kilowatts, multiply by 0.746.
