Thats 2,210 kilowatts, so its more like 30,000 hp.

Either way wattage is more elegant than hp, too many horses to manage ;)

"Thats 2,210 kilowatts, so its more like 30,000 hp."

What is 2,210 X 1000? 2,210,000

What is a HP? 746W

2,210,000/746 = 2962.4664879356568364611260053619

Make it 3000 HP

2 million Watts divided by 746 W/hp is about 3000 hp. Doesn’t sound all that amazing as industrial equipment goes.
