DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "PS" AND "BHP" EXPLAINED !!!

There are a number of ways to measure the power that can be generated by a mechanical device like a car. The most popular is brake horsepower or BHP, which is a method of measurement for vehicles without the encumbrance added by connecting devices like the gearbox and transmission system. In comparison, PS is a unit of power in German. Although PS is very popular in Germany and in Europe, it is rarely seen anywhere else.

Horsepower and PS are not necessarily identical when it comes to values as there is a discrepancy in the value of each unit. One horsepower is the equivalent of 746 Watts while one PS is only 735 Watts. When you compare PS to BHP, you get a coefficient of roughly 0.98.

Summary:

1. BHP is a way of measuring mechanical power while PS is a standard unit for mechanical power in Germany

2. One unit of PS is equivalent to 0.98 horsepower

3. BHP is widely used while PS is considered obsolete.
