About Watt (W)
The SI derived unit of power, one watt equals one joule per second. Named after James Watt, the Scottish inventor who improved the steam engine, the watt measures everything from LED light bulb consumption (5-15 W) to microwave oven output (700-1,200 W) and charging speeds of electronic devices.
About Horsepower (metric) (PS)
The metric horsepower (PS, from German 'Pferdestarke') equals exactly 735.49875 watts, slightly less than the mechanical horsepower. European and Japanese car manufacturers traditionally rate engine output in PS, and the unit appears on specification sheets alongside kilowatts across continental Europe.
