Power Converter

Convert watts, kilowatts, megawatts, and horsepower.

About this converter

Power conversion is useful for motors, appliances, chargers, and infrastructure. This section gives a fast way to compare electrical and mechanical power units.

The base unit for this converter is watt, which lets us map each unit into one consistent formula layer before converting to the target unit.
