Convert kilowatt-second to therm (EC)
Please provide values below to convert kilowatt-second [kW*s] to therm (EC) [thm (EC)], or Convert therm (EC) to kilowatt-second.
1 kW*s = 9.47816987913e-06 thm (EC). To convert kilowatt-second to therm (EC), multiply the value by 9.47816987913e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 thm (EC) = 105505.6 kW*s). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Kilowatt-Second
A kilowatt-second (kW·s) is a unit of energy equal to the energy transferred or converted when a power of one kilowatt is applied for one second.
History/Origin
The kilowatt-second has been used historically in physics and engineering to quantify energy, especially in contexts where power and time are relevant, but it is less common than other energy units like joules or kilowatt-hours.
Current Use
Today, the kilowatt-second is primarily used in specialized fields such as electrical engineering and energy calculations, often for convenience in measuring short-term energy transfer, but it is largely replaced by the joule in most applications.
Therm (Ec)
The therm (EC) is a unit of energy used primarily in the measurement of natural gas and heating energy, equivalent to 100,000 British thermal units (BTUs).
History/Origin
The therm originated in the early 19th century as a practical unit for measuring large quantities of heat energy, especially in the gas industry, and has been standardized in various regions for energy billing and calculations.
Current Use
Today, the therm (EC) is used mainly in the natural gas industry and energy sectors to quantify heat energy consumption, although it has largely been supplemented or replaced by SI units like joules and kilowatt-hours in many regions.
