About this tool

Power is energy per unit of time. Electrical devices are rated in watts and kilowatts, engines in horsepower (hp) or metric horsepower (PS), air conditioners in BTU per hour.

Here every value is converted through the watt (W). Choose any two of the 9 units below the converter, or start from one of the popular conversions.
