Convert pferdestarke to volt ampere
Please provide values below to convert pferdestarke [ps] to volt ampere [V*A], or Convert volt ampere to pferdestarke.
1 ps = 735.49875 V*A. To convert pferdestarke to volt ampere, multiply the value by 735.49875; to go the other way, divide by it (1 V*A = 0.0013596216173 ps). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Pferdestarke
The pferdestarke (ps) is a unit of power used primarily in Germany, equivalent to 735.5 watts.
History/Origin
The pferdestarke was introduced in the late 19th century as a metric unit of horsepower, named after the German word for 'horsepower'. It was used to measure engine power, especially in automotive and engineering contexts.
Current Use
Today, the pferdestarke is largely obsolete and replaced by the SI unit watt, but it is still occasionally used in historical references and in certain European countries for measuring engine power.
Volt Ampere
Volt ampere (V·A) is a unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit, representing the product of voltage and current without considering power factor.
History/Origin
The volt ampere was established as a unit of apparent power with the development of electrical engineering, particularly as a measure in alternating current (AC) systems. It is derived from the SI units volt (V) and ampere (A).
Current Use
Volt ampere is used to quantify apparent power in AC electrical systems, especially in the context of transformers, generators, and power supplies, to assess capacity and performance.
