How the formula works
Both kilovolt and centiwatt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in kilovolts by 100000 to get centiwatts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a centiwatt value by 0.00001 to get back to kilovolts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Kilovolt (kV)?
A Kilovolt (kV) equals 1,000 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for kilo-scale electrical work.
What is Centiwatt (cW)?
A Centiwatt (cW) equals 1/100 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for centi-scale electrical work.
How do I convert kilovolts to centiwatts?
Multiply the kilovolt value by 100000 to get the equivalent in centiwatts. For example, 5 kV × 100000 = 500000 cW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 100000 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert centiwatts back to kilovolts?
Yes. Divide the centiwatt value by 100000, or multiply it by 0.00001, to get kilovolts.
