Convert kilowatt to kilovolt ampere
Please provide values below to convert kilowatt [kW] to kilovolt ampere [kV*A], or Convert kilovolt ampere to kilowatt.
1 kW = 1 kV*A. To convert kilowatt to kilovolt ampere, multiply the value by 1; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kV*A = 1 kW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 kW = 1 kV*A
- 1 kV*A = 1 kW
- 10 kW = 10 kV*A
- 100 kW = 100 kV*A
How to Convert Kilowatt to Kilovolt Ampere
1 kW = 1 kV*A
Example: convert 15 kW to kV*A:
15 kW = 15 × 1 kV*A = 15 kV*A

Kilowatt
A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power equal to 1,000 watts, used to measure the rate of energy transfer or consumption.
History/Origin
The kilowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a practical unit for measuring larger power outputs, especially in engineering and electrical contexts, and has been widely adopted since the 20th century.
Current Use
The kilowatt is commonly used today to specify the power output of engines, electrical appliances, and power generation facilities, as well as in billing for electricity consumption and capacity ratings.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilowatt in kilovolt ampere?
1 kilowatt (kW) = 1 kilovolt ampere (kV*A).
How do you convert kilowatt to kilovolt ampere?
Multiply the kilowatt value by 1. For example, 25 kW × 1 = 25 kV*A.
What is 10 kilowatt in kilovolt ampere?
10 kW = 10 kV*A.
Which unit is larger, the kilowatt or the kilovolt ampere?
The kilovolt ampere is the larger unit: 1 kW equals only 1 kV*A.
