Convert horsepower (water) to kilovolt ampere
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (water) [hp (water)] to kilovolt ampere [kV*A], or Convert kilovolt ampere to horsepower (water).
1 hp (water) = 0.746043 kV*A. To convert horsepower (water) to kilovolt ampere, multiply the value by 0.746043; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kV*A = 1.34040531176 hp (water)). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 hp (water) = 0.746043 kV*A
- 1 kV*A = 1.34040531176 hp (water)
- 10 hp (water) = 7.46043 kV*A

Horsepower (Water)
Horsepower (water) is a unit of power used to measure the rate of water flow or energy transfer, based on the power exerted by a water stream.
History/Origin
The water horsepower originated in the 19th century as a way to quantify the power of water wheels and turbines, with its value historically linked to the energy produced by a specific flow of water under certain conditions.
Current Use
Today, water horsepower is primarily used in hydraulic engineering and water power industries to specify the capacity of water turbines, pumps, and other hydraulic equipment.
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.
