Convert Watts to Kilowatts

Watts → Kilowatts
W × 0.001 = kW kW × 1000 = W

To convert watts (W) to kilowatts (kW), multiply the watts value by 0.001. One watts equals 0.001 kilowatts; one kilowatts equals 1000 watts. The conversion is a linear scaling with no offset, so the same factor applies to any value.
