Kilowatts to Watts Conversion Calculator

Kilowatts to Watts Calculator

Enter power in kilowatts:

Result in watts: W

A kW to W calculator converts power measurements between kilowatts (kW) and watts (W). This essential conversion is used in:
✅ Electrical engineering (circuit design, power systems)
✅ Appliance ratings (energy consumption labels)
✅ Renewable energy (solar panel outputs)
✅ Industrial equipment (motor power specifications)

Conversion Formulas

1. kW to Watts

$$P(W)=P(kW)\times 1,000$$

Example:

• Convert 2.5 kW to Watts:

$$2.5\times 1,000=2,500\text{ W}$$

2. Watts to kW

$$P(kW)=\frac{P(W)}{1,000}$$

Example:

• Convert 800 W to kW:

$$800÷1,000=0.8\text{ kW}$$

Conversion Table (kW ⇆ W)

Kilowatts (kW)	Watts (W)
0.001 kW	1 W
0.01 kW	10 W
0.1 kW	100 W
1 kW	1,000 W
2 kW	2,000 W
5 kW	5,000 W
10 kW	10,000 W

How to Use the Calculator

1. Enter kW → Get W (Multiply by 1,000)

2. Enter W → Get kW (Divide by 1,000)

Example Calculations:

• 1.2 kW to W:

$$1.2\times 1,000=1,200\text{ W}$$

• 3,750 W to kW:

$$3,750÷1,000=3.75\text{ kW}$$

Practical Applications

• Household Appliances: Microwave (1.1 kW = 1,100 W)
• Power Tools: Drill (0.75 kW = 750 W)
• Solar Panels: 5 kW system = 5,000 W output
