About Converting Megawatts to Rontowatts
Megawatt and Rontowatt both describe power output, and the conversion is a routine part of comparing an engine or motor's spec sheet across countries that use different power units. Specifically: Megawatt is 1000000 watt units, and rontowatt is 1e-27 watt units.
Formula
rontowatts = megawatts × 1e+33
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 megawatt equals 1000000 base units, and 1 rontowatt equals 1e-27 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct megawatt-to-rontowatt factor of 1e+33.
Simple example
1 MW × 1e+33 = 1e+33 rW
1 megawatt = 1e+33 rontowatts.
Real-world example
100 MW × 1e+33 = 1e+35 rW
100 megawatts = 1e+35 rontowatts.
Conversion table
| Megawatt (MW) | Rontowatt (rW) |
|---|---|

Reverse conversion: Rontowatt to Megawatt
1e+33 rW × 1e-33 = 1 MW
1e+33 rontowatts = 1 megawatt.
megawatts = rontowatts × 1e-33
