What is kVA to VA?
kVA is a measure of apparent power, while VA is the same measure but on a smaller scale. One kilovolt-amp equals 1000 volt-amps. This conversion is important in electrical engineering for calculating loads and ensuring devices operate within their limits.
How to Use the kVA to VA Calculator
Simply enter the value in kilovolt-amps (kVA) into the designated input box, click the "Calculate" button, and the equivalent value in volt-amps (VA) will be displayed instantly.
Formula for kVA to VA
The formula used for this conversion is:
S(VA) = 1000 × S(kVA)
