Understanding Watt and Metric Horsepower
Watt (W)
The watt is a unit of power in the SI system, used for base measurements.
• SI base unit of power, named after James Watt
• Defined as 1 joule per second (1 W = 1 J/s)
• Used for light bulbs, small appliances, electronics
• Standard unit for electrical power worldwide
Metric Horsepower (PS)
The metric horsepower is a unit of power in the Metric system, used for mechanical measurements.
• European standard for vehicle registration
• Used in car taxation systems
• Common in technical documentation
• Required for vehicle imports in EU countries
