About Kilowatt-hour (thermal)
Kilowatt-hour (thermal) is shown as a thermal-energy label and uses the same joule definition as kWh (3.6 MJ).
About Kilowatt Hour
One kilowatt-hour is the energy from 1 kW of power for one hour: 1 kWh = 3,600,000 J. Utility bills and battery specs often use kWh.
How to convert kilowatt-hour (thermal) to kilowatt hours
1 kilowatt-hour (thermal) is equal to 1 kilowatt hour when both are expressed in joule-equivalents:
1 kwh_th = (3,600,000 J ÷ 3,600,000 J) kwh = 1 kwh
Each kilowatt-hour (thermal) is defined as 3,600,000 J and each kilowatt hour as 3,600,000 J in this tool, so one kwh_th equals 3,600,000 ÷ 3,600,000 kwh = 1 kwh.
Let d(kwh_th) be the numeric amount in Kilowatt-hour (thermal) (kwh_th), and d(kwh) the amount in Kilowatt Hour (kwh). Then:
d(kwh) = d(kwh_th) × (3,600,000 / 3,600,000)
Equivalently, divide by how many kwh_th fit into one kwh (joules per kwh divided by joules per kwh_th):
d(kwh) = d(kwh_th) ÷ 1
Or: kilowatt hour = kilowatt-hour (thermal) ÷ 1
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 kwh_th to kilowatt hour
1 kwh_th = 1 kwh_th × (3,600,000/3,600,000) kwh = 1 kwh
1 kwh_th = 1 kwh_th ÷ 1 = 1 kwh
Example #2: Convert 10 kwh_th to kilowatt hour
10 kwh_th = 10 kwh_th × (3,600,000/3,600,000) kwh = 10 kwh
10 kwh_th = 10 kwh_th ÷ 1 = 10 kwh
Summary
To convert Kilowatt-hour (thermal) to Kilowatt Hour, multiply the value in kwh_th by the ratio of joules per kwh_th divided by joules per kwh. Equivalently: value_kwh = value_kwh_th × (3600000 / 3600000). Numerically, 1 kwh_th equals 1 kwh.
Relationship context
Both units are electrical energy (watt-hours). Conversions use fixed joule factors, so results stay consistent with the definitions in this converter. The factor from Kilowatt-hour (thermal) to Kilowatt Hour is 1.000000e+0 (1 kwh_th = 1 kwh).
