Convert calorie (IT) to kilowatt-hour
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT) [cal (IT)] to kilowatt-hour [kW*h], or Convert kilowatt-hour to calorie (IT).
1 cal (IT) = 1.163e-06 kW*h. To convert calorie (IT) to kilowatt-hour, multiply the value by 1.163e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kW*h = 859845.227859 cal (IT)). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cal (IT) = 1.163e-06 kW*h
- 1 kW*h = 859845.227859 cal (IT)
- 10 cal (IT) = 1.163e-05 kW*h
- 100 cal (IT) = 0.0001163 kW*h
How to Convert Calorie (It) to Kilowatt-Hour
1 cal (IT) = 1.163e-06 kW*h
Example: convert 15 cal (IT) to kW*h:
15 cal (IT) = 15 × 1.163e-06 kW*h = 1.7445e-05 kW*h

Calorie (It)
The calorie (cal) is a unit of energy traditionally used to quantify the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure.
History/Origin
The calorie was originally defined in the 19th century as a unit of heat energy in thermodynamics. It has historically been used in nutrition and physics, but has largely been replaced by the joule in scientific contexts. The 'small calorie' (cal) is distinct from the 'large calorie' (kcal), which is commonly used in food energy labeling.
Current Use
Today, the calorie is primarily used in nutrition to measure the energy content of foods and beverages, although the SI unit of energy, the joule, is increasingly preferred in scientific and technical fields.
Kilowatt-Hour
A kilowatt-hour (kW·h) is a unit of energy equal to the energy transferred or used when a power of one kilowatt is sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The kilowatt-hour originated in the late 19th century with the development of electrical power systems, becoming a standard unit for measuring electrical energy consumption and billing.
Current Use
It is widely used today in electricity billing, energy consumption monitoring, and in various engineering and scientific applications to quantify electrical energy usage.
