Milliwatts to Megawatts Conversion
Enter the power in milliwatts below to get the value converted to megawatts.
How to Convert Milliwatts to Megawatts
To convert a milliwatt measurement to a megawatt measurement, divide the power by the conversion ratio.
Since one megawatt is equal to 1,000,000,000 milliwatts, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The power in megawatts is equal to the milliwatts divided by 1,000,000,000.
Milliwatts and megawatts are both units used to measure power. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Milliwatts
One milliwatt is the power equal to 1/1,000 of a watt, or the energy consumption at a rate of 1/1,000 of a joule per second.
The milliwatt is a multiple of the watt, which is the SI derived unit for power. In the metric system, "milli" is the prefix for 10-3. Milliwatts can be abbreviated as mW; for example, 1 milliwatt can be written as 1 mW.
Megawatts
One megawatt is the power equal to 1,000,000 watts, or the energy consumption at a rate of 1,000,000 joules per second.
The megawatt is a multiple of the watt, which is the SI derived unit for power. In the metric system, "mega" is the prefix for 106. Megawatts can be abbreviated as MW; for example, 1 megawatt can be written as 1 MW.
