The horsepower (hp) is a unit in the foot-pound-second ( fps ) or English system, sometimes used to express the
rate at which mechanical energy is expended. It was originally defined as 550 foot-pounds per second (ft-lb/s).
A power level of 1 hp is approximately equivalent to 746 watt s (W) or 0.746 kilowatt s (kW).
