How to convert millivolt-amperes to kilovolt-amperes?

To convert Millivolt-Amperes (mVA) to Kilovolt-Amperes (kVA), you need to understand the relationship between the units of measurement. Here is a step-by-step explanation:

  1. Understand the prefixes:

    • Milli (m) means one thousandth (10^-3).
    • Kilo (k) means one thousand (10^3).

  2. Conversion factors:

    • 1 Volt-Ampere (VA) = 1,000 Milli-Volt-Amperes (mVA) because milli means 1/1,000.
    • 1 Kilo-Volt-Ampere (kVA) = 1,000 Volt-Amperes (VA) because kilo means 1,000.

  3. Convert Millivolt-Amperes to Volt-Amperes:

    • Since 1 VA = 1,000 mVA, you need to divide the number of Millivolt-Amperes by 1,000 to get Volt-Amperes.

  4. Convert Volt-Amperes to Kilovolt-Amperes:

    • Since 1 kVA = 1,000 VA, you need to divide the number of Volt-Amperes by 1,000 to get Kilovolt-Amperes.

Now, using these steps, let’s convert 1 Millivolt-Ampere to Kilovolt-Amperes:

1 mVA = 1 / 1,000 (convert to VA)
= 0.001 VA

0.001 VA = 0.001 / 1,000 (convert to kVA)
= 0.000001 kVA

So, 1 Millivolt-Ampere is equal to 0.000001 Kilovolt-Amperes.

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities of Millivolt-Amperes

  1. 10 Millivolt-Amperes to Kilovolt-Amperes:

    • 10 mVA = 10 / 1,000 (convert to VA) = 0.01 VA
    • 0.01 VA = 0.01 / 1,000 (convert to kVA) = 0.00001 kVA

  2. 500 Millivolt-Amperes to Kilovolt-Amperes:

    • 500 mVA = 500 / 1,000 (convert to VA) = 0.5 VA
    • 0.5 VA = 0.5 / 1,000 (convert to kVA) = 0.0005 kVA

  3. 1,000 Millivolt-Amperes to Kilovolt-Amperes:

    • 1,000 mVA = 1,000 / 1,000 (convert to VA) = 1 VA
    • 1 VA = 1 / 1,000 (convert to kVA) = 0.001 kVA

  4. 1,000,000 Millivolt-Amperes to Kilovolt-Amperes (for larger scales typically seen in industrial contexts):

    • 1,000,000 mVA = 1,000,000 / 1,000 (convert to VA) = 1,000 VA
    • 1,000 VA = 1,000 / 1,000 (convert to kVA) = 1 kVA

In summary, to convert from Millivolt-Amperes to Kilovolt-Amperes, divide the mVA value by 1,000,000. This approach is practical for various real-world applications spanning small electronic devices to large industrial systems.

What is millivolt-amperes?

A relatively obscure unit of measurement!

Millivolt-ampere (mV-A or mA) is a unit of electrical power, specifically the product of voltage and current.

One millivolt-ampere (mA) is equal to one milliampere (1/1000 ampere) multiplied by one millivolt (1/1000 volt).

In other words:

1 mV-A = 1 mA × 1 mV

To put it in a more familiar context, the unit of watt (W), which is commonly used for electrical power, can be expressed as:

1 W = 1 V × 1 A

So, if we multiply volts and amperes by factors of one-thousandth, we get millivolt-ampere.

While this unit might not be widely used in everyday conversations or engineering applications, it does show up in some specialized contexts, such as:

  1. High-voltage transmission lines, where the line-to-line voltage can be several hundred kilovolts (kV), and current is measured in amperes.
  2. Electric motors and generators, where efficiency might be expressed in terms of millivolt-ampere or watt-hours per hour (Wh/h).
  3. Scientific research and instrumentation, where precise measurements are crucial.

In summary, millivolt-amperes is a unit that represents the product of voltage and current at a relatively small scale.

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=I∗VP = I*V

When referring to a circuit running on AC

Pav=Ipk∗Vpk2=Irms∗Vrms=SP_{av} = \frac{I_{pk}*V_{pk}}{2} = I_{rms}*V_{rms} = S
