Kilowatt (kW)

The kilowatt (symbol: kW) is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 1,000 watts:

Kilowatts are widely used to measure the power consumption or output of household appliances, small engines, and electric tools. For example, a typical microwave oven might use about 1 kW of power.

In electricity billing, power usage is often measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), which reflects energy consumption over time.

The kilowatt is a practical unit for everyday energy use, bridging the scale from watts (for small devices) to megawatts (for larger power generation). It helps people understand and compare the power ratings of common electrical equipment.

Kilocalorie (th)/minute [kcal (th)/min]

The kilocalorie (th)/minute is a unit of power measuring the rate of heat transfer in thermochemical kilocalories per minute.

• 
  

  Kilocalorie (th) refers to the thermochemical kilocalorie, which is slightly different from the International Table kilocalorie based on thermochemical standards.

  
  
• 
  

  When expressed as kcal (th)/minute, it indicates how many thermochemical kilocalories of heat energy are transferred or generated every minute.
