Which horsepower?

There is more than one horsepower. The metric horsepower (PS in German, ch in French, CV in Spanish and Italian, pk in Dutch) is defined as 75 kgf·m/s = 735.5 W. The mechanical or imperial horsepower used in the UK and US is 745.7 W, about 1.4 % more, and 'bhp' (brake horsepower) is that unit measured at the engine's output shaft. The electrical horsepower rounds it to 746 W for motor ratings, and the boiler horsepower, 9.81 kW, rates steam boilers and has nothing to do with engines. The legal unit in the EU is the kilowatt: 100 kW = 136 PS = 134 hp.
