Kilowatt Conversion Formulas

Kilowatt to Watt Conversion Formula

To convert from Kilowatt (kW) to Watt (W), use the following formula:

 Watt (W)\textbf{ Watt } (W)

=1000× Kilowatt (kW)= 1000\times \textbf{ Kilowatt } (kW)

Kilowatt to Milliwatt Conversion Formula

To convert from Kilowatt (kW) to Milliwatt (mW), use the following formula:

 Milliwatt (mW)\textbf{ Milliwatt } (mW)

=1000×1000× Kilowatt (kW)= 1000 \times 1000\times \textbf{ Kilowatt } (kW)

=106× Kilowatt (kW)= 10^{6}\times \textbf{ Kilowatt } (kW)

Kilowatt to Megawatt Conversion Formula

To convert from Kilowatt (kW) to Megawatt (MW), use the following formula:

 Megawatt (MW)\textbf{ Megawatt } (MW)

=1000×1106× Kilowatt (kW)= 1000 \times \frac{1}{10^{6}}\times \textbf{ Kilowatt } (kW)

=11000× Kilowatt (kW)= \frac{1}{1000}\times \textbf{ Kilowatt } (kW)

=0.001× Kilowatt (kW)= 0.001\times \textbf{ Kilowatt } (kW)

Kilowatt to Gigawatt Conversion Formula

To convert from Kilowatt (kW) to Gigawatt (GW), use the following formula:

 Gigawatt (GW)\textbf{ Gigawatt } (GW)

=1000×1109× Kilowatt (kW)= 1000 \times \frac{1}{10^{9}}\times \textbf{ Kilowatt } (kW)

=1106× Kilowatt (kW)= \frac{1}{10^{6}}\times \textbf{ Kilowatt } (kW)

=10−6× Kilowatt (kW)= 10^{-6}\times \textbf{ Kilowatt } (kW)

Kilowatt to Horsepower (metric) Conversion Formula

To convert from Kilowatt (kW) to Horsepower (metric) (PS), use the following formula:

 Horsepower (metric) (PS)\textbf{ Horsepower (metric) } (PS)

=1000×1735.49875× Kilowatt (kW)= 1000 \times \frac{1}{735.49875}\times \textbf{ Kilowatt } (kW)

=1.3596216173039043234× Kilowatt (kW)= 1.3596216173039043234\times \textbf{ Kilowatt } (kW)

Kilowatt to British thermal unit per second Conversion Formula

To convert from Kilowatt (kW) to British thermal unit per second (Btu/s), use the following formula:

 British thermal unit per second (Btu/s)\textbf{ British thermal unit per second } (Btu/s)

=1000×0.737562149×1778.16937× Kilowatt (kW)= 1000 \times 0.737562149 \times \frac{1}{778.16937}\times \textbf{ Kilowatt } (kW)

=0.94781698873601257269× Kilowatt (kW)= 0.94781698873601257269\times \textbf{ Kilowatt } (kW)

With 0.7375621490.737562149 is the ratio between the base units Foot-pound per second (ft-lb/s) and Watt (W).

Kilowatt to Foot-pound per second Conversion Formula

To convert from Kilowatt (kW) to Foot-pound per second (ft-lb/s), use the following formula:

 Foot-pound per second (ft−lb/s)\textbf{ Foot-pound per second } (ft-lb/s)

=1000×0.737562149× Kilowatt (kW)= 1000 \times 0.737562149\times \textbf{ Kilowatt } (kW)

=737.562149× Kilowatt (kW)= 737.562149\times \textbf{ Kilowatt } (kW)

With 0.7375621490.737562149 is the ratio between the base units Foot-pound per second (ft-lb/s) and Watt (W).

Kilowatt to Horsepower (British) Conversion Formula

To convert from Kilowatt (kW) to Horsepower (British) (hp), use the following formula:

 Horsepower (British) (hp)\textbf{ Horsepower (British) } (hp)

=1000×0.737562149×1550× Kilowatt (kW)= 1000 \times 0.737562149 \times \frac{1}{550}\times \textbf{ Kilowatt } (kW)

=1.3410220890909090909× Kilowatt (kW)= 1.3410220890909090909\times \textbf{ Kilowatt } (kW)

With 0.7375621490.737562149 is the ratio between the base units Foot-pound per second (ft-lb/s) and Watt (W).
