How to use this Milliwatts to Kilowatts Converter 🤔
Follow these steps to convert given power from the units of Milliwatts to the units of Kilowatts.
Enter the input Milliwatts value in the text field.
The calculator converts the given Milliwatts into Kilowatts in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the Kilowatts label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Kilowatts value is re-calculated, just like that.
You may copy the resulting Kilowatts value using the Copy button.
You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.
Formula
The formula to convert given power from Milliwatts to Kilowatts is:
Power(Kilowatts) = Power(Milliwatts) / 1e6
Calculation
Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.
Examples
1
Consider that a mobile phone consumes 500 milliwatts (mW) of power while in standby mode. Convert this power consumption from milliwatts to Kilowatts.
Answer
Given:
Power in Milliwatts = 500 mW
Converting Power from Milliwatts to Kilowatts...
The formula to convert from Milliwatts to Kilowatts is:
Power(Kilowatts) = Power(Milliwatts) / 1e6
Substitute given Power(Milliwatts) = 500 in the above formula.
Power(Kilowatts) = 500 / 1e6
Power(Kilowatts) = 0.0005
Therefore, 500 mW is equal to 0.0005 kW.
2
Consider that a smartwatch operates on 200 milliwatts (mW) of power. Convert this power usage from milliwatts to Kilowatts.
Answer
Given:
Power in Milliwatts = 200 mW
Converting Power from Milliwatts to Kilowatts...
The formula to convert from Milliwatts to Kilowatts is:
Power(Kilowatts) = Power(Milliwatts) / 1e6
Substitute given Power(Milliwatts) = 200 in the above formula.
Power(Kilowatts) = 200 / 1e6
Power(Kilowatts) = 0.0002
Therefore, 200 mW is equal to 0.0002 kW.

Milliwatts
A milliwatt (mW) is a unit of power equal to one thousandth of a watt. It is often used in contexts where power levels are low, such as in electronics and communications.
Kilowatts
A kilowatt (kW) is equal to 1,000 watts. It is commonly used to express the power output of engines and the power consumption of electrical devices. For example, household appliances and electric vehicles are often rated in kilowatts.
