Convert horsepower (metric) to exajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (metric) [hp (metric)] to exajoule/second [EJ/s], or Convert exajoule/second to horsepower (metric).
How to Convert Horsepower (Metric) to Exajoule/second
1 hp (metric) = 7.3549875e-16 EJ/s
Example: convert 15 hp (metric) to EJ/s:
15 hp (metric) = 15 × 7.3549875e-16 EJ/s = 1.103248125e-14 EJ/s

Horsepower (Metric)
The metric horsepower (hp) is a unit of power defined as exactly 735.5 watts, used to measure the power output of engines and motors.
History/Origin
The metric horsepower was introduced in the late 19th century as a standardized unit to quantify engine power, primarily in Europe, replacing traditional units like the imperial horsepower. It was adopted for consistency in engineering and automotive industries.
Current Use
Today, the metric horsepower is used mainly in automotive, engineering, and industrial contexts to specify engine power, especially in regions that utilize the metric system. It is also used in some countries for rating motor and engine capacities.
Exajoule/second
An exajoule per second (EJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one exajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The exajoule (EJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power units like EJ/s emerged with the development of large-scale energy measurement, particularly in fields such as astrophysics and energy production, to quantify extremely high power levels.
Current Use
EJ/s is used primarily in theoretical and large-scale energy discussions, such as in astrophysics, planetary science, and global energy consumption analysis, where extremely high power levels are involved.
