Popular Electrical Conversions
Frequently used conversions for electricians and electrical technicians.
Electrical Quick Reference
Useful unit relationships that electricians frequently use during site work and technical calculations.
Power
1 kW = 1,000 W. One mechanical horsepower is approximately 0.7457 kW. Motor nameplates commonly show power in kW or HP.
Voltage
1 kV = 1,000 V and 1 V = 1,000 mV. Voltage is the electrical potential difference used in circuit calculations.
Resistance
1 kΩ = 1,000 Ω and 1 MΩ = 1,000,000 Ω. Resistance is measured in ohms and is commonly checked during insulation testing.
kW & kVA
kW represents active power while kVA represents apparent power. For AC systems, kW = kVA × power factor.
Current
1 kA = 1,000 A and 1 A = 1,000 mA. Current calculations are commonly used for cable, breaker and load selection.
Energy
1 kWh = 1,000 Wh. Electrical energy consumption is commonly measured in kWh on electricity meters.
