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.
About Megawatt
One megawatt is one million watts. Utility generation, large drives, and grid studies use MW.
How to convert metric horsepower (ps/cv) to megawatts
1 metric horsepower (ps/cv) is equal to 0.00073549875 megawatt when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 ps = (735.49875 W ÷ 1,000,000 W) megaw = 0.00073549875 megaw
Each metric horsepower (ps/cv) is defined as 735.49875 W and each megawatt as 1,000,000 W in this tool, so one ps equals 735.49875 ÷ 1,000,000 megaw = 0.00073549875 megaw.
Let d(ps) be the numeric value in Metric Horsepower (PS/CV) (ps), and d(megaw) the value in Megawatt (megaw). Then:
d(megaw) = d(ps) × (735.49875 / 1,000,000)
Equivalently, divide by how many ps fit into one megaw (watts per megaw divided by watts per ps):
d(megaw) = d(ps) ÷ 1359.62161730390449
Or: megawatt = metric horsepower (ps/cv) ÷ 1359.62161730390449
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 ps to megawatt
1 ps = 1 ps × (735.49875/1,000,000) megaw = 0.0007354988 megaw
1 ps = 1 ps ÷ 1359.62161730390449 = 0.0007354988 megaw
Intermediate watts: 735.49875 W
Example #2: Convert 10 ps to megawatt
10 ps = 10 ps × (735.49875/1,000,000) megaw = 0.0073549875 megaw
10 ps = 10 ps ÷ 1359.62161730390449 = 0.0073549875 megaw
Intermediate watts: 7,354.9875 W
Summary
To convert Metric Horsepower (PS/CV) to Megawatt, multiply the value in ps by the ratio of watts per ps divided by watts per megaw. Equivalently: value_megaw = value_ps × (735.49875 / 1000000). Numerically, 1 ps equals 0.0007354987499999999 megaw.
Relationship context
You are converting between mechanical power (horsepower, ft·lb/s) (Metric Horsepower (PS/CV)) and SI / decimal power (watts and prefixes) (Megawatts). All linear values are mapped through watts first. The numeric factor is 7.354987e-4.
