Convert kilovolt ampere to centiwatt
Please provide values below to convert kilovolt ampere [kV*A] to centiwatt [cW], or Convert centiwatt to kilovolt ampere.
1 kV*A = 100000 cW. To convert kilovolt ampere to centiwatt, multiply the value by 100000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cW = 1e-05 kV*A). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 kV*A = 100000 cW
- 1 cW = 1e-05 kV*A
- 10 kV*A = 1000000 cW
- 100 kV*A = 10000000 cW
How to Convert Kilovolt Ampere to Centiwatt
1 kV*A = 100000 cW
Example: convert 15 kV*A to cW:
15 kV*A = 15 × 100000 cW = 1500000 cW

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.
Centiwatt
A centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt, where 1 cW = 0.01 watts.
History/Origin
The centiwatt was introduced as a smaller unit of power measurement to facilitate calculations involving very low power levels, although it is not widely used in practice and remains a rarely adopted unit in the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the centiwatt is rarely used in practical applications; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or subunits like milliwatts and microwatts. It may be encountered in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical discussions.
