Volt-Amperes (Apparent Power) to Power Converter
Volt-Ampere (Apparent Power) to Kilowatt Conversion
1 Volt-Ampere (Apparent Power) = 0.001 Kilowatt
Convert between Volt-Ampere (Apparent Power) and Kilowatt with step-by-step calculations.
Unit Information
Volt-Ampere (V⋅A)
The unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit. It is dimensionally equivalent to the Watt, but represents the total power flowing, including both real and reactive power.
System: Electrical
Kilowatt (kW)
A metric unit of power equal to one thousand watts.
System: SI
Conversion Process
This conversion uses Watt as the base unit. We'll first convert Volt-Ampere (Apparent Power) to Watt, then convert from Watt to Kilowatt.
Step 1: Convert from Volt-Ampere (Apparent Power) to Watt
1 × 1 = 1
Result: 1 Watt
Step 2: Convert from Watt to Kilowatt
1 × 0.001 = 0.001
Result: 0.001 Kilowatt
Direct Conversion Factor
1 ÷ 1,000 = 0.001
Direct conversion: 1 Volt-Ampere (Apparent Power) = 0.001 Kilowatt
Volt-Ampere (Apparent Power) (V⋅A)
System: Electrical
Definition:1 Volt-Ampere = 1 Volt × 1 Ampere. Numerically equivalent to 1 Watt in DC circuits or purely resistive AC circuits, but represents a different physical quantity in AC circuits with reactance.
Origin: Derived from the volt and the ampere.
Common Usage: Used in electrical engineering to specify the total power capacity of transformers, UPS systems, etc.
