Power to Volt Amperes (Apparent Power) Converter
Watt to Volt-Ampere (Apparent Power) Conversion
1 Watt = 1 Volt-Ampere (Apparent Power)
Convert between Watt and Volt-Ampere (Apparent Power) with step-by-step calculations.
Unit Information
Watt (W)
The SI derived unit of power.
System: SI
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
Conversion Process
This conversion uses Watt as the base unit. We'll first convert Watt to Watt, then convert from Watt to Volt-Ampere (Apparent Power).
Step 1: Convert from Watt to Watt
1 × 1 = 1
Result: 1 Watt
Step 2: Convert from Watt to Volt-Ampere (Apparent Power)
1 × 1 = 1
Result: 1 Volt-Ampere (Apparent Power)
Direct Conversion Factor
1 × 1 = 1
Direct conversion: 1 Watt = 1 Volt-Ampere (Apparent Power)
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.
