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

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.
Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilovolt ampere in kilojoule/second?
1 kilovolt ampere (kV*A) = 1 kilojoule/second (kJ/s).
How do you convert kilovolt ampere to kilojoule/second?
Multiply the kilovolt ampere value by 1. For example, 25 kV*A × 1 = 25 kJ/s.
What is 10 kilovolt ampere in kilojoule/second?
10 kV*A = 10 kJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the kilovolt ampere or the kilojoule/second?
The kilojoule/second is the larger unit: 1 kV*A equals only 1 kJ/s.
