Calculate Drivetrain Loss



Formula

The formula to calculate the drivetrain loss is:

\[ \text{DL} = \left( \frac{\text{EHP} - \text{WHP}}{\text{EHP}} \right) \times 100 \]

Where:

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate the drivetrain loss:

\[ \text{DL} = \left( \frac{300 - 250}{300} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{50}{300} \right) \times 100 \approx 16.67\% \]

This demonstrates that with an engine horsepower of 300 hp and a wheel horsepower of 250 hp, the drivetrain loss is approximately 16.67%. ✅
