What is kWh?
Kilowatts hour (kWh) is the unit used to express energy consumption of appliance or load.
What is Energy?
Energy is defined as the product of power and time. For constant value it is expressed as:
For power expressed as a function of time, energy is expressed as:
Here,
- tf=final time
- ti= initial time
- tk= time at a given instant
it can be concluded that energy is the sum of the product of power and time.

Converting Watts to kWh:
A general step for converting Watts to kWh is given as:
Step1: converting Watts to W-hr, by multiplying Watts with time (in hours). The quantity achieve is known as watts-hour (W-hr).
Step2: dividing W-hr by 1000 to get the required kWh.
Converting kWh to Watts:
A general step for converting kWh to Watts is given as:
Step1: converting kWh to W-hr, by dividing Watts by time (in hours).
Step2: converting W-hr to Watts, by dividing W-hr by time (in hours).
