How to convert apparent power from kilovolt-amps (kVA) to volt-amps (VA).
The apparent power S in volt-amps (VA) is equal to 1000 times the apparent power S in kilovolt-amps (kVA):
S(VA) = 1000 × S(kVA)
So volt-amps are equal to 1000 times kilovolt-amps:
VA = 1000 × kilovolt-amps
or
VA = 1000 × kVA
What is the apparent power in volt-amps when the apparent power in kilovolt-amps is 3 kVA?
Solution:
S = 1000 × 3kVA = 3000VA
