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. 1 W = 0.001 kW, and 1 kW = 1000 W. The conversion is a linear scaling with no offset, so the same factor applies to any value.

Going the other way? Convert kW to W.
