convert 5 hp to kw for industrial pump

About 3.728 kW: 5 mechanical hp × ~0.74570 kW/hp ≈ 3.7285 kW.

Detailed answer

Multiply horsepower by the watt factor (~745.70 W per hp), then divide by 1,000 for kilowatts. That gives shaft power; pump absorbed power and motor electrical draw include efficiency and service factor.

Relationship context

Pump curves and motors may be labeled in hp while VFDs, utilities, and IEC equipment favor kW. Converting with a fixed hp definition keeps specs comparable.
