Formulas

Core equations used by this converter.

FormulaWh = kW × h × 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 kW.

Enter duration in hours.

Multiply by 1000 to get Wh.

Example conversions

Common values with formula and result.

0.1 kW for 5 hours

0.1 × 5 × 1000 = 500 Wh

500 Wh

2 kW for 0.5 hours

2 × 0.5 × 1000 = 1000 Wh

1000 Wh

1.5 kW for 2 hours

1.5 × 2 × 1000 = 3000 Wh

3000 Wh

0.05 kW (50 W) for 10 hours

0.05 × 10 × 1000 = 500 Wh
