Convert calorie (th)/second to kilovolt ampere
Please provide values below to convert calorie (th)/second [cal(th)/s] to kilovolt ampere [kV*A], or Convert kilovolt ampere to calorie (th)/second.
1 cal(th)/s = 4.184 kV*A. To convert calorie (th)/second to kilovolt ampere, multiply the value by 4.184; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kV*A = 0.239005736138 cal(th)/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cal(th)/s = 4.184 kV*A
- 1 kV*A = 0.239005736138 cal(th)/s
- 10 cal(th)/s = 41.84 kV*A
- 100 cal(th)/s = 418.4 kV*A
How to Convert Calorie (Th)/second to Kilovolt Ampere

Calorie (Th)/second
Calorie (th)/second (cal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which thermal calories are transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie (th), or thermochemical calorie, was historically used to quantify energy in thermodynamics and nutrition. Its use in power measurement, such as cal(th)/s, emerged in scientific contexts to express thermal energy transfer rates before the adoption of the watt as the standard SI unit.
Current Use
Today, cal(th)/s is rarely used in scientific practice, having been largely replaced by watts (W). It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
Kilovolt Ampere
A kilovolt ampere (kV·A) is a unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit, equal to 1,000 volt-amperes, representing the product of voltage in kilovolts and current in amperes.
History/Origin
The kilovolt ampere emerged as a standard unit for measuring apparent power in electrical engineering, especially with the adoption of the SI system, to quantify the capacity of electrical equipment such as transformers and generators.
Current Use
Today, the kilovolt ampere is widely used in power systems to specify the capacity of electrical devices, particularly in the context of transformers, generators, and power distribution systems, facilitating the design and analysis of electrical networks.
