The Kilowatt Converter supports 24 different power units. This makes it possible to convert freely between kilowatts [kW], metric, Anglo-American, and other power units. All power values are converted in real time and displayed with up to 20 decimal places, ensuring sufficient accuracy.
Conversion of kilowatts
In order to convert kilowatts [kW] into another unit of measurement, a conversion value is required. This value can be determined using a conversion table. However, the table is relatively large, confusing, and difficult for inexperienced users to understand. The tool below provides a solution to this problem by allowing the rounded conversion values for kilowatts [kW] to be queried directly from the conversion table.
Determine conversion factor
Conversion between kilowatts and milliwatts
A quick and precise conversion between kilowatts [kW] and milliwatts [mW] is straightforward and requires only multiplication or division by 1,000,000. The conversion from kilowatts [kW] to milliwatts [mW] is done by multiplying the value in kilowatts [kW] by 1,000,000. To reverse the conversion, divide the value in milliwatts [mW] by 1,000,000 to obtain kilowatts [kW].
- Milliwatts [mW] = kilowatts [kW] * 1,000,000
- Kilowatts [kW] = milliwatts [mW] ÷ 1,000,000
Conversion between kilowatts and watts
Conversions between kilowatts [kW] and watts [W] are straightforward and can be performed with simple math. The required conversion factor is 1,000. To convert a value from kilowatts [kW] to watts [W], multiply the number of kilowatts [kW] by 1,000. For values in watts [W], divide by 1,000 to get the equivalent in kilowatts [kW].
- Watts [W] = kilowatts [kW] * 1,000
- Kilowatts [kW] = watts [W] ÷ 1,000
Conversion between kilowatts and metric horsepower
You can easily convert between metric horsepower [PS] and kilowatts [kW] using the formulas provided below. For accurate results, it is important to follow the correct order of mathematical operations.
- Kilowatts [kW] = metric horsepower [PS] * 0.73549875
- Metric horsepower [PS] = kilowatts [kW] ÷ 0.73549875
Conversion between kilowatts and mechanical horsepower
The fastest and easiest way to convert between mechanical horsepower [hp(I)] and kilowatts [kW] is to use the converter above. Manual conversions are also possible and can be done using the formulas provided below.
- Kilowatts [kW] = mechanical horsepower [hp(I)] * 0.272155422 * 2.73997801
- Mechanical horsepower [hp(I)] = kilowatts [kW] ÷ 0.272155422 ÷ 2.73997801
Conversion between kilowatts and kilojoules per minute
The conversion between kilowatts [kW] and kilojoules per minute [kJ/min] is quick to perform and requires only basic mathematical operations an the conversion factor 60. Multiply the number of kilowatts [kW] by 60 to get the converted value in kilojoules per minute [kJ/min]. To convert a value in kilojoules per minute [kJ/min] back to kilowatts [kW], simply divide the amount of kilojoules per minute [kJ/min] by 60.
- Kilojoules per minute [kJ/min] = kilowatts [kW] * 60
- Kilowatts [kW] = kilojoules per minute [kJ/min] ÷ 60
