Convert 120kWh to kW

Answer 1

you can't do a conversion directly, they are different units, like converting inches to pounds.

However, if you know the number of kW AND the time, you can multiply them together and get kWh.

So if you divide kWh by the time, you should get kW? Right?

Answer 2

kWh is short for kilo-watt-hours. This means the amount of energy used, in kilo-watts (typically written kilowatts, kW) multiplied by the time in hours it was used for. The simple answer is to divide by the number of hours the energy was consumed. For example, if the energy has been used for 1 hour then the answer is 120kW. If the energey was used for 10 hours then the answer is 12kW. You have to know how many hours the energy has been used for and then divide by that number to know how many kW were consumed on average (per hour) over that time period. If you used 1kW for 120 hours then you would have used 120kWh. If you used 30kW for 4 hours you would have used 120kWh. To turn this around, if you were charged for 120kWh by the electric company, you could have used this in 1 hour or in 10 hours or in 100 hours. Only you know over what time period you consumed this energy. If you used the energy over 10 hours then your average usage would have been 12kW. If over 100 hours then your average usage would have been 1.2kW.

Answer 3

kg. is a unit of mass; kWh is a unit of energy. If you want to use the formula E=mc2 (assuming you can actually convert the mass into energy, which is not always possible), that gives you approximately 9 x 1016 Joules; since a kWh is equal to 3.6 million Joules (a Joule is a Watt-second), the division gives 2,500,000,000,000 kWh.

Answer 4

A kilowatt is used to measure power. A kilowatt hour is used to measure energy. These are two different quantities, so you cannot 'convert' one unit to another. Power is the rate at which energy is consumed.

However, you could ask "How much energy would a device consume, in (so many) hours, at the rate of 12.4 kW?" In this case, you would need to multiply the power, in kilowatts, by the time used, in hours.

Incidentally, the symbols are kW and kW.h, not kw and kwh.

Answer 5

kWh (Energy)=kW(Power)*Hours(time)

Answer 7

If the power factor is 0.8 it's 150 kVA.
