Convert erg/second to kilovolt ampere
Please provide values below to convert erg/second [erg/s] to kilovolt ampere [kV*A], or Convert kilovolt ampere to erg/second.
1 erg/s = 1.0000e-10 kV*A. To convert erg/second to kilovolt ampere, multiply the value by 1.0000e-10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kV*A = 10000000000 erg/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 erg/s = 1.0000e-10 kV*A
- 1 kV*A = 10000000000 erg/s
- 10 erg/s = 1.0000e-09 kV*A
- 100 erg/s = 1e-08 kV*A
How to Convert Erg/second to Kilovolt Ampere
1 erg/s = 1e-10 kV*A
Example: convert 15 erg/s to kV*A:
15 erg/s = 15 × 1e-10 kV*A = 1.5e-09 kV*A

Erg/second
The erg/second (erg/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one erg per second equals the transfer of one erg of energy per second.
History/Origin
The erg is an older CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of energy, introduced in the early 20th century for scientific calculations. The erg/second was used in physics to quantify power in contexts where the CGS system was prevalent, especially in astrophysics and theoretical physics.
Current Use
Today, the erg/second is rarely used outside specialized scientific fields; the SI unit watt (W) is preferred for measuring power. However, erg/s may still be encountered in historical data, astrophysics, or when working with CGS-based calculations.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 erg/second in kilovolt ampere?
1 erg/second (erg/s) = 1.0000e-10 kilovolt ampere (kV*A).
How do you convert erg/second to kilovolt ampere?
