Megawatt to Kilowatt Converter
How to Convert Megawatts (MW) to Kilowatts (kW)
👋 Curious about how power in megawatts translates to kilowatts? Let’s break it down! 🚀
MW to kW Calculation Formula ✨
The power P in kilowatts (kW) is equal to the power P in megawatts (MW) multiplied by 1,000:
P(kW) = P(MW) × 1,000Example Calculation
If you have a power measurement of 3 MW, the calculation would be:
P(kW) = 3 MW × 1,000 = 3,000 kWUnderstanding the Conversion 🧠
