Not really sure what you mean in your question...

1 Kilowatt = 1000 Watts

1 horsepower is generally defined as = 746 Watts

Neither definition has reference to current.

You see, watts (or power) are the product of Voltage
(potential difference) and Amperage (current flow).

And, since you didn't talk about the voltage I cannot begin to talk about the current supply. For example: A Kilowatt amplifier may use a power supply that puts out 1000 volts at one Amp ( 1000 x 1 = 1kw ), and a 1 Horsepower Welder Generator might put out 28 Volts at 26 amps
( 28 x 26.64 = 746 watts = 1 hp). Key here is that you asked about "current" with no reference to voltage, and a lead in statement in "watts."

My guess is that you want to know which of the two indicates the most power in watts. If that is the case,
then a Kilowatt is roughly 250 watts more than a Horsepower.

1 horse power=3/4 Kilo watt
kilowatt is higher

That's like asking: Which is larger, inches or minutes?

The measure completely different things. Horsepower measures the amount of physical work is getting accomplished, in terms of how many horses it would take to get the same job done. Killowatts actually measure an aspect of electrical energy. They're unrelated.

Both are unit of power.You just need to convert them into same unit to be compared.
You can buy things with US$ or S$ the only difference is exchange rate.

didn't i already answer this. depends on the voltage one hp @ 120volts is 6.21666666 amps one kw @ 120 volts is 8.3333333 amps. volts times amps = watts
watts / volts = amps
watts / amps = volts
hope this helps oh p.s. 746 watts in one hp

ELECTRIC HAS MORE CURRENT....PLEASE REPHRASE THAT!
