How to Convert Microwatts to Kilowatts
To convert a measurement in microwatts to a measurement in kilowatts, divide the power by the following conversion ratio: 1,000,000,000 microwatts/kilowatt.
Since one kilowatt is equal to 1,000,000,000 microwatts, you can use this simple formula to convert:
kilowatts = microwatts ÷ 1,000,000,000
The power in kilowatts is equal to the power in microwatts divided by 1,000,000,000.
For example, here's how to convert 5,000,000,000 microwatts to kilowatts using the formula above.
kilowatts = (5,000,000,000 µW ÷ 1,000,000,000) = 5 kW
Microwatts and kilowatts are both units used to measure power. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Microwatt?
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 millionths, or 10-6. Microwatts can be abbreviated as µW; for example, 1 microwatt can be written as 1 µW.

What Is a Kilowatt?
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 thousands, or 103. Kilowatts can be abbreviated as kW; for example, 1 kilowatt can be written as 1 kW.
