About foot-pounds per second and kilowatts
The Conversion Formula
To convert foot-pounds per second to kilowatts, multiply the value by the conversion factor: 1 ft·lbf/s = 0.00135582 kW. For a worked example, suppose you need to convert 25 ft·lbf/s to kilowatts: 25 × 0.00135582 = 0.0338955 kW. To convert in the opposite direction, divide by 0.00135582, or equivalently multiply by 737.56.
About foot-pounds per second
The foot-pound per second is the base unit of power in the English engineering system. It is defined as the power needed to lift 1 pound 1 foot in 1 second. 550 of these equal 1 horsepower. It is mostly used in engineering textbooks today. foot-pounds per second are commonly used in Mechanical engineering, Physics problems (US), Torque/Power derivations, and other fields.
Lifting a 1lb book 1ft in 1s takes 1 ft-lb/s of power.
About kilowatts
The kilowatt (kW) is the most common unit for rating home appliances and electric motors. In many countries (like Australia and Germany), car engine power is officially rated in kilowatts, not horsepower. It is also the unit used to rate the charging speed of electric vehicles. kilowatts are commonly used in EV charging stations, Home appliances (Microwaves), Generators, and Car engines (Metric), Electric heaters.
A microwave uses about 1 kilowatt.
When Would You Convert foot-pounds per second to kilowatts?
