How to convert kilovolt-amperes to megavolt-amperes

1 kilovolt-amperes (kVA) is equal to 1×10^-3 megavolt-amperes (MVA). Conversely, 1 megavolt-amperes (MVA) is equal to 1000 kilovolt-amperes (kVA).

See below section for step by step unit conversion with formulas and explanations. Please refer to the table below for a list of all the Megavolt-Amperes to other unit conversions.

Step by step guide to convert kilovolt-amperes to megavolt-amperes

Convert base units

Here, since the units are same, we just need to convert the metric prefix

1 Kilo=103 Mega1\ Kilo = 10^{-3}\ Mega

Substitute to calculate MVA

1 kVA=103MVA1\ kVA = 10^{-3} MVA

What is kilovolt-ampere?

A kilovolt-ampere (kVA) is the unit used for measuring the apparent power, S, in a circuit. In other words, apparent power, kVA, or S represents the complete amount of power that is being used in a system.

1kVA=1000VA1 kVA = 1000 VA

When referring to a circuit running on DC

P=IVP = I*V

When referring to a circuit running on AC

Pav=IpkVpk2=IrmsVrms=SP_{av} = \frac{I_{pk}*V_{pk}}{2} = I_{rms}*V_{rms} = S

Wikipedia page for Volt-ampere Definition of apparent power can be found on following article The Volt-Ampere Method by the University of Louisville
