What is a Kilowatt?

Hello,

Handy definition from Wikepedia

Kilowatt
The kilowatt (symbol: kW), equal to one thousand watts, is typically used to state the power output of engines and the power consumption of tools and machines. A kilowatt is approximately equivalent to 1.34 horsepower. An electric heater with one heating-element might use 1 kilowatt.
