Understanding Power Units

Watt (W)

The basic unit of power that measures energy transfer rate. One watt equals one joule per second. Common in household appliances and electronics.

Kilowatt (kW)

Equal to 1,000 watts. Used for measuring home electricity consumption, larger appliances like air conditioners, and vehicle power output.

Megawatt (MW)

Equal to 1,000,000 watts or 1,000 kilowatts. Used for measuring power plant output, community electricity consumption, and industrial power systems.

1W = 0.000001MW

1MW = 1000000W

Watts to megawatts conversion formula

The power in megawatts P(MW) is equal to the power in watts P(W) divided by 1000000:

P(MW) = P(W) / 1000000

Example

Convert 5W to megawatts:

P(MW) = 5W / 1000000 = 0.000005MW
