Explanation

watts and kilowatts are units of power. They are used in common measurement contexts. Which one you use depends on the unit system or industry. They are defined at different scales, so the factor is not 1: 1 watts = 0.001 kilowatts, and 1 kilowatts = 1000 watts. Because one kilowatts represents a larger amount than one watts, the numeric value gets smaller in this direction.

How to convert watts to kilowatts

  1. Enter the value in watts (W).
  2. Multiply it by 0.001.
  3. The result is the equivalent value in kilowatts (kW).
  4. Round the result if needed.

Worked example

5917 × 0.001 = 5.917 kilowatts
