How to convert megavolt-amperes to kilovolt-amperes

1 megavolt-amperes (MVA) is equal to 1000 kilovolt-amperes (kVA). Conversely, 1 kilovolt-amperes (kVA) is equal to 1×10^-3 megavolt-amperes (MVA).

See below section for step by step unit conversion with formulas and explanations. Please refer to the table below for a list of all the Kilovolt-Amperes to other unit conversions.

Step by step guide to convert megavolt-amperes to kilovolt-amperes

Convert base units

Here, since the units are same, we just need to convert the metric prefix

1 Mega=103 Kilo1\ Mega = 10^{3}\ Kilo

Substitute to calculate kVA

1 MVA=103kVA1\ MVA = 10^{3} kVA

What is megavolt-ampere?

A megavolt-ampere (MVA) is the unit used for measuring the apparent power, S, in a circuit. In other words, apparent power, MVA, or S represents the complete amount of power that is being used in a system.

1MVA=1000kVA=1,000,000VA1 MVA = 1000 kVA = 1,000,000 VA

When referring to a circuit running on DC

P=IVP = I*V

When referring to a circuit running on AC

Pav=IpkVpk2=IrmsVrms=SP_{av} = \frac{I_{pk}*V_{pk}}{2} = I_{rms}*V_{rms} = S
