VA to kVA Calculator

What is a VA to kVA Calculator?

A VA to kVA Calculator is a tool that converts volt-amperes (VA) to kilovolt-amperes (kVA). Both VA and kVA are units of apparent power in electrical systems, with kVA being 1000 times larger than VA.

The Formula

The formula for converting VA to kVA is:

Where:

• kVA is apparent power in kilovolt-amperes
• VA is apparent power in volt-amperes

Understanding VA and kVA

VA (volt-amperes) and kVA (kilovolt-amperes) are both units of apparent power in electrical systems:

• VA (Volt-Amperes): This is the basic unit of apparent power. It's calculated by multiplying volts by amperes in an AC circuit.
• kVA (Kilovolt-Amperes): This is simply 1000 VA. The 'k' prefix stands for 'kilo', meaning 1000.
