How to convert volt-amperes to kilovolt-amperes?

Converting Volt-Amperes (VA) to Kilovolt-Amperes (kVA) is quite simple. Since "kilo-" is the SI prefix for 1000, you can convert Volt-Amperes to Kilovolt-Amperes by dividing by 1000.

Here's the conversion formula: kVA=VA1000\text{kVA} = \frac{\text{VA}}{1000}

So, for 1 Volt-Ampere:

1VA=11000kVA=0.001kVA1 \text{VA} = \frac{1}{1000} \text{kVA} = 0.001 \text{kVA}

Let's look at some real-world examples for other quantities of Volt-Amperes:

  1. 500 VA: 500VA=5001000kVA=0.5kVA500 \text{VA} = \frac{500}{1000} \text{kVA} = 0.5 \text{kVA}

  2. 1500 VA: 1500VA=15001000kVA=1.5kVA1500 \text{VA} = \frac{1500}{1000} \text{kVA} = 1.5 \text{kVA}

  3. 25000 VA: 25000VA=250001000kVA=25kVA25000 \text{VA} = \frac{25000}{1000} \text{kVA} = 25 \text{kVA}

  4. 750000 VA: 750000VA=7500001000kVA=750kVA750000 \text{VA} = \frac{750000}{1000} \text{kVA} = 750 \text{kVA}

These conversions are very useful in electrical engineering and power distribution, as it is often more convenient to work with larger units (kVA) when dealing with high power levels. For instance, power ratings of generators, transformers, and UPS systems are typically given in 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 Kilovolt-Amperes to other unit conversions.

What is volt-ampere?

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

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

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