Convert kilovolt ampere to femtowatt
Please provide values below to convert kilovolt ampere [kV*A] to femtowatt [fW], or Convert femtowatt to kilovolt ampere.
1 kV*A = 1.0000e+18 fW. To convert kilovolt ampere to femtowatt, multiply the value by 1.0000e+18; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fW = 1.0000e-18 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 = 1.0000e+18 fW
- 1 fW = 1.0000e-18 kV*A
- 10 kV*A = 1.0000e+19 fW
- 100 kV*A = 1.0000e+20 fW
How to Convert Kilovolt Ampere to Femtowatt
1 kV*A = 1e+18 fW
Example: convert 15 kV*A to fW:
15 kV*A = 15 × 1e+18 fW = 1.5e+19 fW

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.
Femtowatt
A femtowatt (fW) is a unit of power equal to 10^-15 watts, representing an extremely small amount of power.
History/Origin
The femtowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure very small quantities of power, particularly in scientific and technological contexts, gaining recognition as the need to quantify minute power levels grew.
Current Use
Femtowatts are used in fields such as quantum physics, nanotechnology, and optical measurements, where precise measurement of extremely low power levels is required.
