Convert kilowatt to kilojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilowatt [kW] to kilojoule/second [kJ/s], or Convert kilojoule/second to kilowatt.
1 kW = 1 kJ/s. To convert kilowatt to kilojoule/second, multiply the value by 1; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kJ/s = 1 kW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 kW = 1 kJ/s
- 1 kJ/s = 1 kW
- 10 kW = 10 kJ/s
- 100 kW = 100 kJ/s
How to Convert Kilowatt to Kilojoule/second
1 kW = 1 kJ/s
Example: convert 15 kW to kJ/s:
15 kW = 15 × 1 kJ/s = 15 kJ/s

Kilowatt
A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power equal to 1,000 watts, used to measure the rate of energy transfer or consumption.
History/Origin
The kilowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a practical unit for measuring larger power outputs, especially in engineering and electrical contexts, and has been widely adopted since the 20th century.
Current Use
The kilowatt is commonly used today to specify the power output of engines, electrical appliances, and power generation facilities, as well as in billing for electricity consumption and capacity ratings.
Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilowatt in kilojoule/second?
1 kilowatt (kW) = 1 kilojoule/second (kJ/s).
How do you convert kilowatt to kilojoule/second?
Multiply the kilowatt value by 1. For example, 25 kW × 1 = 25 kJ/s.
What is 10 kilowatt in kilojoule/second?
10 kW = 10 kJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the kilowatt or the kilojoule/second?
The kilojoule/second is the larger unit: 1 kW equals only 1 kJ/s.
