FAQ for kWh → kJ

Is kWh the same as a food calorie?

No. kWh is electrical energy; kcal is common on food labels. We only convert physical energy equivalents.

How many kcal in 1 kWh?

About 860.4 kcal (thermochemical, since 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ). See the live factor on this page.

Formula?

kJ = kWh × 3600 (1 KWH = 3600 KJ)

Reverse?

1 kilojoule ≈ 0.000278 kilowatt-hour.

How much is 1 kilowatt-hour in kilojoule?

3600 kilojoule. Factor 1 kilowatt-hour = 3600 kilojoule.

How the Kilowatt-hour to Kilojoule converter works

This hub describes the pair, not a single number. Pages like 1, 10 or 100 Kilowatt-hour answer exact searches.

NiftyRecipe uses thermochemical energy factors (for example 1 kcal = 4184 J). Results do not change with the time of day.
