Kilowatt (kW)
The kilowatt (symbol: kW) is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 1,000 watts:
1 kW=1,000 W
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.
Kilojoule per Minute [kJ/min]
Kilojoule per minute is a unit of power measuring the rate of energy transfer or work done over time.
Kilojoule (kJ) equals 103 joules (1,000 joules).
When expressed as kilojoule per minute (kJ/min), it measures how many kilojoules of energy are transferred or work is done every minute.
To convert to watts (joules per second), use:
1 kJ/min=60 seconds1,000 joules≈16.67 watts
This unit is useful for measuring power in processes where energy changes happen on a timescale of minutes.
