Convert kilovolt ampere to terajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilovolt ampere [kV*A] to terajoule/second [TJ/s], or Convert terajoule/second to kilovolt ampere.
1 kV*A = 1e-09 TJ/s. To convert kilovolt ampere to terajoule/second, multiply the value by 1e-09; to go the other way, divide by it (1 TJ/s = 1000000000 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 = 1e-09 TJ/s
- 1 TJ/s = 1000000000 kV*A
- 10 kV*A = 1e-08 TJ/s
- 100 kV*A = 1e-07 TJ/s
How to Convert Kilovolt Ampere to Terajoule/second
1 kV*A = 1e-09 TJ/s
Example: convert 15 kV*A to TJ/s:
15 kV*A = 15 × 1e-09 TJ/s = 1.5e-08 TJ/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.
Terajoule/second
A terajoule per second (TJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillion joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The terajoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'tera' indicating a factor of 10^12. It is used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very high power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production.
Current Use
TJ/s is used to quantify extremely high power outputs, such as in large-scale energy systems, astrophysical phenomena, and nuclear reactions, where conventional units like watts are insufficient to express the magnitude.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilovolt ampere in terajoule/second?
1 kilovolt ampere (kV*A) = 1e-09 terajoule/second (TJ/s).
How do you convert kilovolt ampere to terajoule/second?
Multiply the kilovolt ampere value by 1e-09. For example, 25 kV*A × 1e-09 = 2.5e-08 TJ/s.
What is 10 kilovolt ampere in terajoule/second?
10 kV*A = 1e-08 TJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the kilovolt ampere or the terajoule/second?
The terajoule/second is the larger unit: 1 kV*A equals only 1e-09 TJ/s.
