Power Converter
The power converter allows you to quickly and accurately convert between the most common units of power. Whether you're working with watts, kilowatts, horsepower, or CV, this tool handles the math instantly.
Power conversions are essential in engineering, automotive, electrical systems, and everyday life. With different countries and industries using different power units — horsepower for car engines, kilowatts for electrical equipment, BTU/h for heating systems — having a reliable converter saves time and prevents errors.
How it works
Power conversions use standardized factors. All units are converted through a base unit (Watts). For example: 1 HP = 745.7 W, 1 CV = 735.5 W, 1 kW = 1,000 W, 1 MW = 1,000,000 W, 1 BTU/h = 0.29307 W. To convert between any two units, the value is first converted to W, then to the target unit.
Use cases
- Converting engine power between horsepower and kilowatts for automotive comparisons
- Converting electrical power ratings between watts and kilowatts for appliance specifications
- Converting between HP and CV for vehicle registration in different countries
- Converting heating/cooling capacity between BTU/h and kW for HVAC systems
