The Watt Converter supports 24 different power units. This makes it possible to convert freely between watts [W], 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 watts

In order to convert watts [W] 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 watts [W] to be queried directly from the conversion table.

Conversion between watts and milliwatts

A quick and precise conversion between watts [W] and milliwatts [mW] is straightforward and requires only multiplication or division by 1,000. The conversion from watts [W] to milliwatts [mW] is done by multiplying the value in watts [W] by 1,000. To reverse the conversion, divide the value in milliwatts [mW] by 1,000 to obtain watts [W].

  • Milliwatts [mW] = watts [W] * 1,000
  • Watts [W] = milliwatts [mW] ÷ 1,000

Conversion between watts and kilowatts

Conversions between watts [W] and kilowatts [kW] 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 watts and metric horsepower

You can easily convert between metric horsepower [PS] and watts [W] using the formulas provided below. For accurate results, it is important to follow the correct order of mathematical operations.

  • Watts [W] = metric horsepower [PS] * 735.49875
  • Metric horsepower [PS] = watts [W] ÷ 735.49875

Conversion between watts and mechanical horsepower

The fastest and easiest way to convert between mechanical horsepower [hp(I)] and watts [W] is to use the converter above. Manual conversions are also possible and can be done using the formulas provided below.

  • Watts [W] = mechanical horsepower [hp(I)] * 27.2155422 * 27.3997801
  • Mechanical horsepower [hp(I)] = watts [W] ÷ 27.2155422 ÷ 27.3997801

Conversion between watts and kilojoules per minute

The two formulas below provide an easy way to convert between watts [W] and kilojoules per minute [kJ/min]. To ensure precise conversion results, it is important to follow the correct order of math operations.

  • Kilojoules per minute [kJ/min] = watts [W] * 0.06
  • Watts [W] = kilojoules per minute [kJ/min] ÷ 0.06
