Understanding Power Conversion

Power conversion is essential in engineering, physics, and everyday applications. Our power converter tool helps you easily convert between different units of power, making it simple to work with various measurement systems and specifications.

Power represents the rate at which energy is transferred, used, or transformed. Whether you're working with electrical systems, mechanical equipment, or scientific calculations, understanding different power units is crucial for accurate measurements and conversions.

Common Power Units Explained

Watts (W)

The standard SI unit of power, named after James Watt. One watt equals one joule per second and is commonly used for electrical power measurements.

Kilowatts (kW)

Equal to 1,000 watts, kilowatts are commonly used for measuring electrical power consumption in homes and businesses, as well as engine power.

Horsepower (hp)

A traditional unit of power, originally defined as the power needed to lift 550 pounds one foot in one second. Still widely used for engines and motors.

BTU/hour

British Thermal Units per hour, commonly used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to measure thermal power.
