What does a kilowatt measure?

A kilowatt is a unit of power equal to 1,000 watts, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion over time, commonly used to rate electrical appliances and mechanical power.

When should I use microjoule per second as a unit?

Microjoule per second is used to quantify very small continuous power levels, typical in ultra-low-power electronics, optical systems, and energy-harvesting devices.

Why is the converted number so large when going from kW to µJ/s?

Because 1 kilowatt equals 1,000,000,000 microjoule/second, the conversion scales up the number significantly due to the difference in unit magnitude.
