Milliwatt to Metric Horsepower (PS/CV) Converter
Power · unit-converter
Convert Milliwatt to Metric Horsepower (PS/CV) with a fixed input and output unit, step-by-step formula line, and reference tables. Linear units use SI watt definitions; mechanical hp uses 550 ft·lbf/s; BTU/h uses the IT BTU; dBm/dBW are logarithmic relative to 1 mW and 1 W. The full Power Converter also includes PS/CV, TR, kVA/MVA, and ft·lb/s.

About Milliwatt
One milliwatt is one thousandth of a watt. Common in RF, fiber optics, and low-power electronics.
About Metric Horsepower (PS/CV)
PS is metric horsepower (also called Pferdestarke), defined as 735.49875 W. It appears widely in EU and Korean vehicle specs.
How to convert milliwatts to metric horsepower (ps/cv)
1 milliwatt is equal to 0.00000135962162 metric horsepower (ps/cv) when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 mw = (0.001 W ÷ 735.49875 W) ps = 0.00000135962162 ps
Each milliwatt is defined as 0.001 W and each metric horsepower (ps/cv) as 735.49875 W in this tool, so one mw equals 0.001 ÷ 735.49875 ps = 0.00000135962162 ps.
Let d(mw) be the numeric value in Milliwatt (mw), and d(ps) the value in Metric Horsepower (PS/CV) (ps). Then:
d(ps) = d(mw) × (0.001 / 735.49875)
Equivalently, divide by how many mw fit into one ps (watts per ps divided by watts per mw):
d(ps) = d(mw) ÷ 735498.75
Or: metric horsepower (ps/cv) = milliwatt ÷ 735498.75
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 mw to metric horsepower (ps/cv)
1 mw = 1 mw × (0.001/735.49875) ps = 0.0000013596 ps
1 mw = 1 mw ÷ 735498.75 = 0.0000013596 ps
Intermediate watts: 0.001 W
Example #2: Convert 10 mw to metric horsepower (ps/cv)
10 mw = 10 mw × (0.001/735.49875) ps = 0.0000135962 ps
10 mw = 10 mw ÷ 735498.75 = 0.0000135962 ps
Intermediate watts: 0.01 W
Summary
To convert Milliwatt to Metric Horsepower (PS/CV), multiply the value in mw by the ratio of watts per mw divided by watts per ps. Equivalently: value_ps = value_mw × (0.001 / 735.49875). Numerically, 1 mw equals 0.0000013596216173039044 ps.
Relationship context
You are converting between SI / decimal power (watts and prefixes) (Milliwatts) and mechanical power (horsepower, ft·lb/s) (Metric Horsepower (PS/CV)). All linear values are mapped through watts first. The numeric factor is 1.359622e-6.
