Convert horsepower (electric) to microjoule/second
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (electric) [hp (electric)] to microjoule/second [µJ/s], or Convert microjoule/second to horsepower (electric).
How to Convert Horsepower (Electric) to Microjoule/second
1 hp (electric) = 746000000 µJ/s
Example: convert 15 hp (electric) to µJ/s:
15 hp (electric) = 15 × 746000000 µJ/s = 11190000000 µJ/s

Horsepower (Electric)
Electric horsepower (hp) is a unit of power used to measure the rate at which electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy or work, equivalent to approximately 746 watts.
History/Origin
The electric horsepower was developed as an adaptation of the mechanical horsepower to quantify electrical power output, especially in electric motors and generators. It became a standard unit in electrical engineering to express the power of electric motors and appliances.
Current Use
Electric horsepower is used primarily in specifying the power of electric motors, generators, and other electrical devices, particularly in industries where electrical power measurement is essential for performance and efficiency assessments.
Microjoule/second
The microjoule per second (µJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one microjoule equals 10^-6 joules, transferred per second.
History/Origin
The microjoule per second originated from the need to measure very small power levels in scientific and engineering contexts, especially in fields like electronics and nanotechnology, as a scaled-down unit of the watt (joule per second).
Current Use
It is used in applications requiring precise measurement of low power levels, such as in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), sensor technology, and research involving minute energy transfers.
