Convert terawatt to kilovolt ampere
Please provide values below to convert terawatt [TW] to kilovolt ampere [kV*A], or Convert kilovolt ampere to terawatt.
1 TW = 1000000000 kV*A. To convert terawatt to kilovolt ampere, multiply the value by 1000000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kV*A = 1e-09 TW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 TW = 1000000000 kV*A
- 1 kV*A = 1e-09 TW
- 10 TW = 10000000000 kV*A
- 100 TW = 100000000000 kV*A
How to Convert Terawatt to Kilovolt Ampere
1 TW = 1000000000 kV*A
Example: convert 15 TW to kV*A:
15 TW = 15 × 1000000000 kV*A = 15000000000 kV*A

Terawatt
A terawatt (TW) is a unit of power equal to one trillion watts (10^12 watts).
History/Origin
The term 'terawatt' was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify extremely large power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production, gaining prominence in the 20th century with advancements in large-scale energy and power measurement.
Current Use
Terawatts are used to describe the total power output of large-scale energy sources, such as the total global power consumption, solar radiation received by Earth, and astrophysical phenomena.
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.
