Power Converter

What is a Power Converter?

A Power Converter is a tool that helps you switch between different units of power, which is the rate of doing work or transferring energy. From tiny watts used in electronics to megawatts in power plants, this tool makes conversions accurate and effortless.

 

 Why Use a Power Converter?

• Quickly convert W, kW, MW, and hp
• Save time on manual calculations
• Useful for students, engineers, mechanics, and electricians
• Perfect for comparing electric power vs. mechanical horsepower

 

 Common Use Cases

• Appliances – Convert watts to kilowatts (e.g., 1000 W = 1 kW).
• Cars & engines – Convert horsepower (hp) to watts.
• Renewable energy – Convert solar or wind power (kW → MW).
• Education – Students learning about energy and power.

 

 How to Use the Power Converter

1. Enter the power value.

2. Select the input unit (W, kW, MW, hp).

3. Instantly see the converted values in all other units.

 

 Supported Units

• Watt (W) – SI unit of power
• Kilowatt (kW) = 1,000 W
• Megawatt (MW) = 1,000,000 W
• Horsepower (hp) ≈ 745.7 W
• Milliwatt (mW) = 0.001 W
• Gigawatt (GW) = 1,000,000,000 W

 

Example Conversions

• 1 kW = 1,000 W
• 1 MW = 1,000,000 W
• 1 hp ≈ 745.7 W
• 2,000 W = 2 kW
• 0.5 MW = 500,000 W

 

Who Needs This Tool?

• Students – For physics, energy, and engineering problems.
• Electricians – For appliances and circuits.
• Mechanical engineers – For horsepower conversions.
• Renewable energy professionals – Solar and wind power ratings.

 

 FAQs
