What is the Power Converter (Watt, kW, HP, Ton)?

A power converter switches between the units used to rate motors, appliances, generators and air conditioners — watts and kilowatts for most electronics, horsepower for engines and motors, and tons of refrigeration for describing AC cooling capacity (a more familiar unit than watts for most Indian buyers sizing an air conditioner).

How to Calculate

Every unit converts through the watt as a common base: 1 kilowatt equals 1,000 watts, 1 horsepower is approximately 745.7 watts, and 1 ton of refrigeration is approximately 3,516.85 watts. Enter your value and unit, choose the target unit, and the calculator applies the appropriate conversion factor.

Formula

1 kW = 1000 W · 1 hp ≈ 745.7 W

How to Use

  1. Enter a value and pick the units.
  2. The converted result updates instantly.
  3. Use Copy or Print to save it.
