Convert kilovolt ampere to megajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilovolt ampere [kV*A] to megajoule/second [MJ/s], or Convert megajoule/second to kilovolt ampere.
1 kV*A = 0.001 MJ/s. To convert kilovolt ampere to megajoule/second, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 MJ/s = 1000 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 = 0.001 MJ/s
- 1 MJ/s = 1000 kV*A
- 10 kV*A = 0.01 MJ/s
- 100 kV*A = 0.1 MJ/s
How to Convert Kilovolt Ampere to Megajoule/second
1 kV*A = 0.001 MJ/s
Example: convert 15 kV*A to MJ/s:
15 kV*A = 15 × 0.001 MJ/s = 0.015 MJ/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.
Megajoule/second
A megajoule per second (MJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one megajoule of energy transferred or converted per second, where 1 megajoule equals 1,000,000 joules.
History/Origin
The megajoule per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify large-scale power, especially in fields like physics and energy systems, as a convenient unit for expressing high power levels. It is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second).
Current Use
Today, MJ/s is primarily used in scientific research, energy production, and engineering to describe high power outputs, such as in power plants, large-scale energy systems, and theoretical calculations involving energy transfer rates.
