Convert volt ampere to hectowatt
Please provide values below to convert volt ampere [V*A] to hectowatt [hW], or Convert hectowatt to volt ampere.
1 V*A = 0.01 hW. To convert volt ampere to hectowatt, multiply the value by 0.01; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hW = 100 V*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 V*A = 0.01 hW
- 1 hW = 100 V*A
- 10 V*A = 0.1 hW
- 100 V*A = 1 hW
How to Convert Volt Ampere to Hectowatt
1 V*A = 0.01 hW
Example: convert 15 V*A to hW:
15 V*A = 15 × 0.01 hW = 0.15 hW

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.
Hectowatt
A hectowatt (hW) is a unit of power equal to 100 watts.
History/Origin
The hectowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide larger units of power measurement, though it is rarely used in practice today.
Current Use
The hectowatt is seldom used in modern contexts; power is typically expressed in watts or kilowatts, but it may appear in specific engineering or scientific applications requiring larger units.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 volt ampere in hectowatt?
1 volt ampere (V*A) = 0.01 hectowatt (hW).
How do you convert volt ampere to hectowatt?
Multiply the volt ampere value by 0.01. For example, 25 V*A × 0.01 = 0.25 hW.
What is 10 volt ampere in hectowatt?
10 V*A = 0.1 hW.
Which unit is larger, the volt ampere or the hectowatt?
The hectowatt is the larger unit: 1 V*A equals only 0.01 hW.
