How to Convert Volt-Amps (VA) to Kilovolt-Amps (kVA)

Converting volt-amps (VA) to kilovolt-amps (kVA) is a straightforward process in electrical engineering and power systems. This conversion is useful when dealing with larger power values or when specifying electrical equipment capacities.

Conversion Formula

The formula to convert VA to kVA is:

\[kVA = \frac{VA}{1000}\]

Where:

• kVA is the power in kilovolt-amps
• VA is the power in volt-amps

Calculation Steps

1. Identify the power value in volt-amps (VA)
2. Divide the VA value by 1000
3. The result is the power in kilovolt-amps (kVA)

Example Calculation

Let's convert 5000 VA to kVA:

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

Therefore, 5000 VA is equal to 5 kVA.
