Convert volt ampere to megawatt
Please provide values below to convert volt ampere [V*A] to megawatt [MW], or Convert megawatt to volt ampere.
1 V*A = 1e-06 MW. To convert volt ampere to megawatt, multiply the value by 1e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 MW = 1000000 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 = 1e-06 MW
- 1 MW = 1000000 V*A
- 10 V*A = 1e-05 MW
- 100 V*A = 0.0001 MW
How to Convert Volt Ampere to Megawatt
1 V*A = 1e-06 MW
Example: convert 15 V*A to MW:
15 V*A = 15 × 1e-06 MW = 1.5e-05 MW

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.
Megawatt
A megawatt (MW) is a unit of power equal to one million watts, used to measure the output of power plants and the capacity of electrical systems.
History/Origin
The megawatt was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify large-scale power, becoming widely adopted in the 20th century with the expansion of electrical power generation and distribution.
Current Use
Megawatts are commonly used today to specify the capacity of power plants, electrical grids, and large-scale energy projects, facilitating standardized measurement of high power levels in various industries.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 volt ampere in megawatt?
1 volt ampere (V*A) = 1e-06 megawatt (MW).
How do you convert volt ampere to megawatt?
Multiply the volt ampere value by 1e-06. For example, 25 V*A × 1e-06 = 2.5e-05 MW.
What is 10 volt ampere in megawatt?
10 V*A = 1e-05 MW.
Which unit is larger, the volt ampere or the megawatt?
The megawatt is the larger unit: 1 V*A equals only 1e-06 MW.
