How to Convert Kilowatts to Microwatts

To convert a kilowatt measurement to a microwatt measurement, multiply the power by the conversion ratio.

Since one kilowatt is equal to 1,000,000,000 microwatts, you can use this simple formula to convert:

microwatts = kilowatts × 1,000,000,000

The power in microwatts is equal to the kilowatts multiplied by 1,000,000,000.

For example, here's how to convert 5 kilowatts to microwatts using the formula above.
5 kW = (5 × 1,000,000,000) = 5,000,000,000 µW

How Many Microwatts Are in a Kilowatt?

There are 1,000,000,000 microwatts in a kilowatt, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 kW = 1,000,000,000 µW

Kilowatts and microwatts are both units used to measure power. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

Kilowatts

One kilowatt is the power equal to 1,000 watts, or the energy consumption at a rate of 1,000 joules per second.

The kilowatt is a multiple of the watt, which is the SI derived unit for power. In the metric system, "kilo" is the prefix for 103. Kilowatts can be abbreviated as kW; for example, 1 kilowatt can be written as 1 kW.

Microwatts

One microwatt is the power equal to 1/1,000,000 of a watt, or the energy consumption at a rate of 1/1,000,000 of a joule per second.

The microwatt is a multiple of the watt, which is the SI derived unit for power. In the metric system, "micro" is the prefix for 10-6. Microwatts can be abbreviated as µW; for example, 1 microwatt can be written as 1 µW.
