Examples

1

Consider that a luxury electric car's motor generates 250 kilowatts (kW) of power.
Convert this power output from kilowatts to Decibel-milliwatts.

Answer

Given:

Power in Kilowatts = 250 kW

Converting Power from Kilowatts to Decibel-milliwatts...

The formula to convert from Kilowatts to Decibel-milliwatts is:

Power(Decibel-milliwatts) = 10 × Math.log(Power(Kilowatts) × 1e6) × Math.LOG10E

Substitute given Power(Kilowatts) = 250 in the above formula.

Power(Decibel-milliwatts) = 10 × Math.log(250 × 1e6) × Math.LOG10E

Power(Decibel-milliwatts) = 83.9794

Therefore, 250 kW is equal to 83.9794 dBm.

2

Consider that a high-end gaming PC setup consumes 1 kilowatt (kW) of power.
Convert this power usage from kilowatts to Decibel-milliwatts.

Answer

Given:

Power in Kilowatts = 1 kW

Converting Power from Kilowatts to Decibel-milliwatts...

The formula to convert from Kilowatts to Decibel-milliwatts is:

Power(Decibel-milliwatts) = 10 × Math.log(Power(Kilowatts) × 1e6) × Math.LOG10E

Substitute given Power(Kilowatts) = 1 in the above formula.

Power(Decibel-milliwatts) = 10 × Math.log(1 × 1e6) × Math.LOG10E

Power(Decibel-milliwatts) = 60

Therefore, 1 kW is equal to 60 dBm.
