Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the power values are appropriate for the scale of the units being converted.
Apply conversions in contexts relevant to either electrical energy or mechanical power as suitable.
Verify unit interpretation depending on engineering application to avoid misrepresentation.

Limitations

Gigawatts measure very large scale power outputs; newton meter/second suits mechanical power contexts better.
Units represent the same physical quantity but are typically used in different engineering fields.
Conversion should be applied with attention to the relevant power scale and usage scenario.
