Convert kilovolt ampere to picojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilovolt ampere [kV*A] to picojoule/second [pJ/s], or Convert picojoule/second to kilovolt ampere.
1 kV*A = 1.0000e+15 pJ/s. To convert kilovolt ampere to picojoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e+15; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pJ/s = 1.0000e-15 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+15 pJ/s
- 1 pJ/s = 1.0000e-15 kV*A
- 10 kV*A = 1.0000e+16 pJ/s
- 100 kV*A = 1.0000e+17 pJ/s
How to Convert Kilovolt Ampere to Picojoule/second
1 kV*A = 1e+15 pJ/s
Example: convert 15 kV*A to pJ/s:
15 kV*A = 15 × 1e+15 pJ/s = 1.5e+16 pJ/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.
Picojoule/second
A picojoule per second (pJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillionth of a joule per second, representing an extremely small rate of energy transfer.
History/Origin
The picojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'pico' denoting a factor of 10^-12. It has been used in scientific contexts requiring precise measurement of very small power levels, especially in fields like nanotechnology and low-power electronics.
Current Use
This unit is used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify extremely low power levels, such as in nanotechnology, bioelectronics, and other fields where minute energy transfer rates are relevant.
