How to convert joules to kilowatt-hours

1 joules (J) is equal to 2.7777778×10-7 kilowatt-hours (kWh). Conversely, 1 kilowatt-hours (kWh) is equal to 3600000 joules (J).

See below section for step by step unit conversion with formulas and explanations. Please refer to the table below for a list of all the Kilowatt-hours to other unit conversions.

What is Joules?

Joules measures energy. It is part of SI units system. Symbol for inches is JJ.

A Joule is commonly defined as amount of work done when a force of 1 newton displaces a mass through a distance of 1 metre in the direction of the force applied.

1 J=1 kgm2/s2=1 Nm1\ J = 1\ kg*m^2/s^{2} = 1\ N*m

1 J=1 Pam3=1 Ws=1 CV1\ J = 1\ Pa*m^3 = 1\ W*s = 1\ C*V

Where JJ - joule
kgkg - kilogram
mm - metre
ss - second
NN - newton
PaPa - pascal
WW - watt
CC - coulomb
VV - volt

What is kilowatt-hours?

A Kilowatt-hour is a unit of energy and its units, kWh, are formed with W for watt and h for hour from SI unit system combined with letter k, metric prefix, for 1,000 or 10310^3. Its definition, in the context of electricity, is the energy of one watt power flowing for one hour.

Followings equivalent equations are identical but in different units. Please note that factor 10310^3 is representing Kilo prefix in kWh unit.
