kW Calculator.

Sitemap

This site publishes 22 pages: the main kW calculator, 20 conversion and reference pages, and this index. The homepage carries a full translation in 18 languages. Supporting pages are written in English only.

Conversion calculators

Nine single-purpose converters, each showing the formula it used.

PageWhat it covers
Kilowatts to ampsCurrent draw from a kilowatt load, for DC, single-phase and three-phase circuits.
Amps to kilowattsReal power from a measured clamp-meter current reading.
Watts to kilowattsThe factor-of-1,000 step between watts and kilowatts.
Kilowatts to voltsSolving for voltage when power and current are both known.
Kilowatts to horsepowerMotor ratings between kW and mechanical horsepower.
Horsepower to kilowattsShaft output in HP converted to kilowatts, then to electrical input.
kVA to kilowattsApparent power to real power at any power factor.
Kilowatts to BTU/hrElectrical or thermal power in BTU per hour and tons of refrigeration.
Kilowatts to kilowatt-hoursEnergy used over a run time, from a load in kilowatts.

Concept and reference pages

Five explanatory pages covering the theory the calculators rest on.

PageWhat it covers
Three-phase powerDelta and wye, line-to-line against line-to-neutral, and where the 1.732 multiplier comes from.
Power factor and correctionCapacitor bank sizing, utility surcharges, and a worked correction example.
Apparent, reactive and real powerWhat kVA, kVAR and kW physically are, built up from the phasor diagram.
Electrical power formulasOhm's Law, Watt's Law and every conversion collected as a reference sheet.
Load calculation basicsConnected load against demand load, following NEC Article 220 methodology.

Application calculators

Six scenario-driven tools, each with fields specific to its own domain.

PageWhat it covers
Generator sizingRunning watts plus the worst motor-starting surge, turned into a continuous kW rating.
Motor full-load currentEstimated FLA from horsepower, and why code work uses the NEC table value.
Home energy useAppliance-by-appliance daily kWh, from an 18-item reference table.
Solar system sizeDaily usage to array kilowatts to panel count.
EV charging powerLevel 1, Level 2 and DC fast charging compared, with charge time from battery size.
Kilowatt-hour costA load and a tariff rate turned into a daily, monthly and annual figure.

Homepage languages

The calculator, every worked example and the full FAQ are translated in each of these 18 languages. Each URL below serves its language as static HTML.
