Convert volt ampere to terawatt
Please provide values below to convert volt ampere [V*A] to terawatt [TW], or Convert terawatt to volt ampere.
1 V*A = 1.0000e-12 TW. To convert volt ampere to terawatt, multiply the value by 1.0000e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 TW = 1e+12 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 = 1.0000e-12 TW
- 1 TW = 1e+12 V*A
- 10 V*A = 1.0000e-11 TW
- 100 V*A = 1.0000e-10 TW
How to Convert Volt Ampere to Terawatt
1 V*A = 1e-12 TW
Example: convert 15 V*A to TW:
15 V*A = 15 × 1e-12 TW = 1.5e-11 TW

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.
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.
