Convert joule/second to kilovolt ampere
Please provide values below to convert joule/second [J/s] to kilovolt ampere [kV*A], or Convert kilovolt ampere to joule/second.
1 J/s = 0.001 kV*A. To convert joule/second to kilovolt ampere, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kV*A = 1000 J/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 J/s = 0.001 kV*A
- 1 kV*A = 1000 J/s
- 10 J/s = 0.01 kV*A
- 100 J/s = 0.1 kV*A
How to Convert Joule/second to Kilovolt Ampere
1 J/s = 0.001 kV*A
Example: convert 15 J/s to kV*A:
15 J/s = 15 × 0.001 kV*A = 0.015 kV*A

Joule/second
The joule per second (J/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to one watt.
History/Origin
The joule per second has been used as a measure of power since the adoption of the SI system, where the watt (W) became the standard unit of power, with 1 J/s = 1 W.
Current Use
J/s is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify power, especially in physics and electrical engineering, often interchangeably with watts.
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 joule/second in kilovolt ampere?
1 joule/second (J/s) = 0.001 kilovolt ampere (kV*A).
How do you convert joule/second to kilovolt ampere?
Multiply the joule/second value by 0.001. For example, 25 J/s × 0.001 = 0.025 kV*A.
