How to Calculate Volt-Amperes from Kilovolt-Amperes

Converting kilovolt-amperes (kVA) to volt-amperes (VA) is a straightforward process in electrical engineering. This conversion is crucial when working with power systems and electrical equipment. Our calculator simplifies this process, but understanding the underlying principles is important.

Calculation Formula

The formula to calculate volt-amperes from kilovolt-amperes is:

\[VA = kVA \times 1000\]

Where:

• VA is the apparent power in volt-amperes
• kVA is the apparent power in kilovolt-amperes

Calculation Steps

1. Identify the apparent power in kVA
2. Multiply the kVA value by 1000
3. The result is the apparent power in VA

Example Calculation

Let's convert 5 kVA to VA:

1. Identify the given value: \[kVA = 5\]
2. Apply the formula: \[VA = 5 \times 1000 = 5000 \text{ VA}\]

Therefore, 5 kVA is equal to 5000 VA.
