Convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to volt ampere
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/second [kcal/s] to volt ampere [V*A], or Convert volt ampere to kilocalorie (IT)/second.
1 kcal/s = 4186.8 V*A. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to volt ampere, multiply the value by 4186.8; to go the other way, divide by it (1 V*A = 0.000238845896627 kcal/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 kcal/s = 4186.8 V*A
- 1 V*A = 0.000238845896627 kcal/s
- 10 kcal/s = 41868 V*A
- 100 kcal/s = 418680 V*A
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/second to Volt Ampere
1 kcal/s = 4186.8 V*A
Example: convert 15 kcal/s to V*A:
15 kcal/s = 15 × 4186.8 V*A = 62802 V*A

Kilocalorie (It)/second
A kilocalorie per second (kcal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and thermodynamics, has been a standard unit of energy measurement. Its use in power calculations, such as kcal/s, emerged in contexts requiring energy transfer rates, though it is less common than SI units like watts.
Current Use
Kcal/s is primarily used in specialized fields like thermodynamics and calorimetry to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in contexts involving heat transfer and energy consumption, though it is less prevalent than SI units.
Volt Ampere
Volt ampere (V·A) is a unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit, representing the product of voltage and current without considering power factor.
History/Origin
The volt ampere was established as a unit of apparent power with the development of electrical engineering, particularly as a measure in alternating current (AC) systems. It is derived from the SI units volt (V) and ampere (A).
Current Use
Volt ampere is used to quantify apparent power in AC electrical systems, especially in the context of transformers, generators, and power supplies, to assess capacity and performance.
