Formulas

Core equations used by this converter.

FormulaE(J) = P(kW) × t(s) × 1000

iDC and resistive AC use PF = 1. Single-phase: multiply by PF. Three-phase line-to-line: include √3. Prefer RMS voltage and current for AC.

How to use

Enter power in kilowatts.

Enter duration in seconds.

Multiply: J = kW × s × 1000.

Example conversions

Common values with formula and result.

1 kW for 1 s

E = 1 × 1 × 1000 = 1000 J

1000 J

2 kW for 60 s

E = 2 × 60 × 1000 = 120 000 J

120 000 J

0.5 kW for 10 s

E = 0.5 × 10 × 1000 = 5000 J

5000 J

1 kW for 1 hour (3600 s)

E = 1 × 3600 × 1000 = 3 600 000 J (= 1 kWh)

1 kWh)

Definition: **Kilowatt (kW)** — power (1000 J/s). **Joule (J)** — energy.
What it calculates: Convert kilowatts (kW) to joules (J). Energy needs time: J = kW × s × 1000. Formula, steps, and examples.
Inputs: Values required by the selected conversion mode
Outputs: Converted result in the target unit or format
Formula: E(J) = P(kW) × t(s) × 1000
Assumptions: Conversion runs locally in the browser; values are not uploaded.
Uses the formulas documented on this page.
Units: Amps × Volts
Boundary conditions: Empty or invalid input yields no valid result.
Out-of-range values may be rejected by the tool runtime.
Example: 1 kW for 1 s → 1000 J
Validation cases: 1 kW for 1 s → 1000 J
