Megawatts to Watts Converter
Convert megawatts (MW) to watts (W) instantly. Power conversions help compare car engines in hp and kW, and air-con units rated in BTU/h against their electrical draw in watts.
Result
- Watts
- 1,000,000 W
How to use the megawatts to watts converter

About this conversion
Power conversions help compare car engines in hp and kW, and air-con units rated in BTU/h against their electrical draw in watts.
Unit conversion is simply multiplication by a fixed ratio. The ratio between two units of the same quantity never changes, so once you know it you can convert any value in either direction.
For everyday use, three or four significant figures are usually enough. Engineering, science and trade documents may need more, and rounding should happen only at the end of a calculation.
