kVA to VA Calculator
Instructions:
- Enter Apparent Power (kVA):
- Locate the input field labeled “Apparent Power (kVA)”.
- Enter the value of apparent power in kilovolt-amperes (kVA) into this field. Ensure the value is a positive number.
- Calculate:
- Click the “Calculate” button below the input field.
- The calculator will convert the entered kVA value to volt-amperes (VA) and display the result in the highlighted box labeled “VA” below the buttons.
- The result will be shown as a whole number for clarity.
- Reset:
- If you wish to clear the input field and the result, click the “Reset” button.
- This will clear all the data entered and reset the calculator to its initial state, allowing you to perform new calculations.
Example:
- If you enter “5” in the “Apparent Power (kVA)” field and click “Calculate”, the result displayed will be “5000 VA”.
By following these steps, you can easily convert kVA to VA using the provided calculator. If you encounter any issues or have further questions, please consult additional resources or seek expert advice.
Formula:
VA = kVA × 1000
Explanation:
- VA: Volt-amperes, the unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit.
- kVA: Kilovolt-amperes, a larger unit of apparent power, where 1 kVA = 1000 VA.
Usage:
To convert from kVA to VA, simply multiply the value in kVA by 1000. This conversion is useful in electrical engineering when dealing with larger values of apparent power and needing to express them in smaller units.
For example:
- If you have 5 kVA and want to convert it to VA, you would use the formula:
5kVA × 1000 = 5000VA
This simple multiplication gives you the equivalent apparent power in volt-amperes.
