Power Units Introduction

Watt (W) represents the amount of work done or energy consumed per second. Specifically, 1 watt equals the conversion of 1 joule of energy per second (1 W = 1 J/s). Watts are commonly used to describe the power consumption of electrical appliances, the power output of generators, and other energy conversion processes. For example, a 60-watt light bulb indicates it consumes 60 joules of energy per second.

Milliwatt (mW) represents one-thousandth of a watt. Specifically, 1 milliwatt equals 0.001 watts (1 mW = 0.001 W). Milliwatts are commonly used to describe smaller power levels, such as the power consumption in electronic devices and the output power of lasers.

Kilowatt (kW) represents 1,000 watts. Specifically, 1 kilowatt equals 1,000 watts (1 kW = 1,000 W). Kilowatts are commonly used to describe the power of larger equipment, such as household appliances, industrial machinery, and generators.

Megawatt (MW) represents 1 million watts. Specifically, 1 megawatt equals 1 million watts (1 MW = 1,000,000 W). Megawatts are commonly used to describe the power of very large equipment and systems, such as the generating capacity of power plants and the power of large machinery.

Gigawatt (GW) represents 1 billion watts. Specifically, 1 gigawatt equals 1 billion watts (1 GW = 1,000,000,000 W). Gigawatts are commonly used to describe extremely large-scale power, such as the generating capacity of national power grids and the total power of large power generation facilities.

Horsepower (metric hp) represents German horsepower. 1 horsepower (PS) is approximately equal to 735.5 watts. It is commonly used to describe the power of car engines and other mechanical equipment.

British Thermal Units/s (Btu/s) represents the British thermal units converted per second. Specifically, 1 British thermal unit/second is approximately equal to 1,055 watts. It is commonly used to describe the power of heating and cooling systems.

Foot-pounds/s (ft-lb/s) represents the energy converted in foot-pounds per second. Specifically, 1 foot-pound/second is approximately equal to 1.3558 watts. It is commonly used to describe the power of mechanical systems.

Horsepower (hp) represents imperial horsepower. 1 horsepower (hp) equals 746 watts. It is commonly used to describe the power of internal combustion engines, electric motors, and other mechanical equipment. For example, a 100-horsepower car engine indicates its maximum power is approximately 74,600 watts.
