A milliwatt (mW) is one thousandth of a watt (W), or there are 1000 milliwatts in a watt. The watt is an SI derived unit of power. One watt is one joule of energy per second.
dBm or dBmW (decibel-milliwatts) is a unit of level used to indicate that a power level is expressed in decibels (dB) with reference to one milliwatt (mW). It is used in radio, microwave and fiber-optical communication networks as a convenient measure of absolute power because of its capability to express both very large and very small values in a short form compared to dBW, which is referenced to one watt (1000 mW).
How to convert mW to dBm
The power P(dBm) in dBm is equal to 10 times the base 10 logarithm of the power P(mW) in milliwatts (mW) divided by 1 milliwatt (mW):
P(dBm) = 10 ⋅ log10( P(mW) / 1mW)

30. Watts to horsepower
One watt is the power equal to the rate of energy of one joule per second in an electrical circuit. One watt is also equal to the power produced in a circuit with a voltage potential of one volt with a current of one amp.
The watt is the SI derived unit for power in the metric system. Watts can be abbreviated as W; for example, 1 watt can be written as 1 W.
The term horsepower was adopted by Scottish inventor James Watt to measure the power output of his steam engine and to compare that power with that of horses horses. Horsepower were later used to measure the power output of piston and turbine engines and electrical motors.
There are now several different types of horsepower, including mechanical, electrical, metric, boiler, brake, and indicated, and they all have different applications in industry. Mechanical and electric are the most commonly used types.
How to convert watts to horsepower
Watts to mechanic / hydraulic horsepower
One mechanic or hydraulic horsepower is equal to 745.699872 watts:
1 hp(I) = 745.699872 W
So the power conversion of watts to horsepower is given by:
P(hp) = P(W) / 745.699872
Example
Convert 10W to mechanic horsepower:
P(hp) = 10W / 745.699872 = 0.01341 hp
Watts to electrical horsepower
One electrical horsepower is equal to 746 watts:
1 hp(E) = 746 W
So the power conversion of watts to horsepower is given by:
P(hp) = P(W) / 746
Example
Convert 10W to electrical horsepower:
P(hp) = 10W / 746 = 0.013405 hp
Watts to metric horsepower
One metric horsepower is equal to 735.49875 watts:
1 hp(M) = 735.49875 W
So the power conversion of watts to horsepower is given by:
P(hp) = P(W) / 735.49875
Example
Convert 10W to metric horsepower:
P(hp) = 10W / 735.49875 = 0.013596 hp
31. Watts to megawatts
One watt is the power equal to the rate of energy of one joule per second in an electrical circuit. One watt is also equal to the power produced in a circuit with a voltage potential of one volt with a current of one amp.
The watt is the SI derived unit for power in the metric system. Watts can be abbreviated as W; for example, 1 watt can be written as 1 W.
One megawatt is the power equal to 1,000,000 watts, or the energy consumption at a rate of 1,000,000 joules per second.
The megawatt is a multiple of the watt, which is the SI derived unit for power. In the metric system, "mega" is the prefix for 106. Megawatts can be abbreviated as MW; for example, 1 megawatt can be written as 1 MW.
How to convert watts to megawatts
1W = 0.000001MW
1MW = 1000000W
Watts to megawatts conversion formula
The power in megawatts P(MW) is equal to the power in watts P(W) divided by 1000000:
P(MW) = P(W) / 1000000
Example
Convert 5W to megawatts:
P(MW) = 5W / 1000000 = 0.000005MW
