1 Milliwatt = 1.0000e-9 Megawatt
Key Formulas
Kilowatt → Horsepower (mech)
hp = kW × 1.34102Horsepower (mech) → Kilowatt
kW = hp × 0.7457Watt → Kilowatt
kW = W × 0.001Kilowatt → Watt
W = kW × 1000Formula
MW = mW ÷ 1000000000One milliwatt equals one-billionth of a megawatt. This is an extremely small conversion ratio. Used when comparing small electronic devices to large power installations.
