Power Unit Converter
Convert between watts, kilowatts, horsepower, BTU/h and other power units. Understand power measurements for engineering, automotive, and energy applications.
Step 1: Input Power Value
Understanding Power Units
Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. Common units include watts (SI unit), horsepower (automotive), and BTU/h (heating systems). Accurate conversion is essential for engineering, automotive, and energy applications.
Step 2: Conversion Options
Power Unit Applications
Different industries use different power units: Watts for electrical systems, horsepower for vehicles, BTU/h for heating systems, and tons of refrigeration for cooling systems. Understanding these units helps in cross-industry communication and system design.
