Convert kilovolt ampere to hectowatt
Please provide values below to convert kilovolt ampere [kV*A] to hectowatt [hW], or Convert hectowatt to kilovolt ampere.
1 kV*A = 10 hW. To convert kilovolt ampere to hectowatt, multiply the value by 10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hW = 0.1 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 = 10 hW
- 1 hW = 0.1 kV*A
- 10 kV*A = 100 hW
- 100 kV*A = 1000 hW
How to Convert Kilovolt Ampere to Hectowatt
1 kV*A = 10 hW
Example: convert 15 kV*A to hW:
15 kV*A = 15 × 10 hW = 150 hW

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.
Hectowatt
A hectowatt (hW) is a unit of power equal to 100 watts.
History/Origin
The hectowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide larger units of power measurement, though it is rarely used in practice today.
Current Use
The hectowatt is seldom used in modern contexts; power is typically expressed in watts or kilowatts, but it may appear in specific engineering or scientific applications requiring larger units.
Frequently Asked Questions
