Power Converter

Power measures the rate at which energy is transferred or converted per unit of time. It is fundamental in many areas: electrical engineering for sizing circuits and appliances, automotive for rating engine performance, construction for selecting heating and cooling systems, and renewable energy for evaluating solar panels and wind turbines.

Multiple unit systems are used to express power: the SI system uses watts (W), kilowatts (kW), and megawatts (MW), while the imperial system relies on horsepower (hp), BTU per hour (BTU/h), and foot-pounds per second (ft⋅lb/s). Mechanical horsepower and metric horsepower also differ slightly, reflecting their distinct historical origins.
