What does one milliwatt represent?

One milliwatt is one-thousandth of a watt, representing a low level of power commonly used for small electrical components.

Is Pferdestärke an SI unit?

No, Pferdestärke is not an SI unit; it is a metric horsepower unit used mainly in German-speaking countries.

Why are the converted values very small?

Because milliwatt measures very low power and Pferdestärke corresponds to much larger mechanical power units, conversions yield very small decimal results.

What Is This Tool?

This online converter transforms power measurements from milliwatt (mW), a unit for low electrical power, into Pferdestärke (PS), a traditional metric horsepower unit used mainly in German-speaking regions for engine and mechanical power.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in milliwatt (mW) into the input field
Select milliwatt (mW) as the source unit and Pferdestärke (ps) as the target unit
Click the convert button to see the equivalent power in Pferdestärke
Review the conversion result for use in automotive or engineering contexts

Key Features

Converts power units from milliwatt (mW) to Pferdestärke (ps)
Supports power values used in electronics and automotive industries
Provides a simple and browser-based interface for quick conversions
Uses established conversion rates based on accepted definitions

Common Use Cases

Evaluating power consumption of small electronics like LEDs and sensors
Interpreting audio amplifier output power in mechanical terms
Comparing electrical output of laser or RF devices with engine power ratings
Checking engine and machinery specifications using Pferdestärke
Understanding regional power units in German-speaking automotive markets

Tips & Best Practices

Enter power values accurately to ensure meaningful conversion
Keep in mind that Pferdestärke is not an SI unit and applies mainly to mechanical power
Use this tool for rough comparisons rather than precision electrical measurements
Understand that very small milliwatt values result in tiny Pferdestärke results
Apply conversions primarily when dealing with automotive or historical machinery data

Limitations

Millwatt measures very low power while Pferdestärke reflects higher mechanical power, causing results in very small decimals
Pferdestärke is not part of the SI system and may not be suited for precise electronic power analysis
Conversion is less practical for detailed engineering calculations involving low-power devices
