A. Power Conversion
Power is the rate at which energy is generated or consumed. It is measured in watts (W) in the International System of Units (SI). The power converter below can be used to convert between different units of power. The SI unit of power is the watt, which is equal to one joule per second. Other common units of power include kilowatts (kW), megawatts (MW), Horsepower (Hp), Btu/hour, joules per second (J/s), and many others.
