Power Converter

Comprehensive Power Converter

Power is a fundamental measurement in physics and engineering, representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted. Our Power Converter tool is designed to help you quickly and accurately convert power values across a wide range of units—from tiny microwatts to colossal exawatts. Whether you’re analyzing electrical systems, industrial machinery, or energy production, our tool simplifies your calculations.

What Units Are Covered?

Our converter includes an extensive list of power units with conversion factors relative to the watt (W), the SI base unit of power. Some of the key units include:

• SI and Metric Units:

  • Watt [W] – The standard unit of power.

  • Kilowatt [kW], Megawatt [MW], Gigawatt [GW], Terawatt [TW], Petawatt [PW], Exawatt [EW] – Covering the full spectrum of power from everyday appliances to large-scale power generation.

  • Hectowatt [hW], Dekawatt [daW], Deciwatt [dW], Centiwatt [cW], Milliwatt [mW], and smaller subunits down to Attowatt [aW].

• Imperial and Specialized Units:

  • Horsepower (in various forms: conventional, metric, boiler, electric, water, and pferdestarke) – Common in automotive and mechanical engineering.

  • Btu (IT) and Btu (th) – Often used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

  • MBtu (IT)/hour, MBH, ton (refrigeration) – For large-scale energy management.

  • Caloric power units such as kilocalorie per hour/minute/second and calorie (IT)/(th).

• Other Equivalents:

  • Units derived from energy conversion rates, such as Joule/second, Newton meter/second, and even those based on electrical measurements like kilovolt ampere and volt ampere.

How Does It Work?

Our converter works by first converting the input power value to watts using the corresponding conversion factor for the selected “From” unit. It then converts the watt value to the desired “To” unit. This two-step process ensures accuracy and consistency across all conversions.
