Kilowatt [kW] to Milliwatt [mW] Converter
Quick Reference
1 Kilowatt (kW) = 1000000 Milliwatt (mW)
1 Milliwatt (mW) = 1.0000e-6 Kilowatt (kW)
How to Convert Kilowatt to Milliwatt
1 kW = 1000000 mW
1 mW = 1.0000e-6 kW
To convert Kilowatt to Milliwatt, multiply the value by 1000000. To convert Milliwatt back to Kilowatt, divide by 1000000.
Example: convert 10 kW to mW:
10 kW = 10 x 1000000 = 10000000 mW
Kilowatt
Definition: A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power equal to one thousand (10³) watts. It is a multiple of the base unit, the watt, in the International System of Units (SI).
History/origin: The watt is named in honor of Scottish inventor James Watt. The kilowatt, as a decimal multiple of the watt, was derived as a larger unit for measuring significant amounts of power.
Current use: Kilowatts are used to measure the power consumption of appliances, electric motors, and industrial equipment. It is also used to measure the power output of generators and engines.
Milliwatt
Definition: A milliwatt (mW) is a unit of power equal to one thousandth (10⁻³) of a watt. It is a subunit of the base unit, the watt, in the International System of Units (SI).
History/origin: The watt is named in honor of Scottish inventor James Watt. The milliwatt, as a decimal multiple of the watt, was naturally derived as a smaller, more convenient unit for measuring smaller powers.
Current use: Milliwatts are used to measure small power levels in electronic circuits, audio equipment, and wireless communication devices. It's used where power consumption is low.
