Power measures the rate at which energy is transferred or work is performed over time. It is a key concept in electrical engineering, mechanics, and thermodynamics. The watt (W) is the SI unit of power, while horsepower is still commonly used in automotive and industrial contexts.

Watt

Named after James Watt, the watt quantifies power as one joule per second. It measures the rate of energy transfer in mechanical and electrical systems alike.

Kilowatt

The kilowatt bundles 1,000 watts into a convenient scale for appliances, motors, and photovoltaic arrays. It has become the default rating unit for household electricity use.

Megawatt

Megawatts extend power measurement into utility-scale generation and industrial processes, covering everything from wind turbines to data centers.
