How to convert Volt-Amperes to Kilovolt-Amperes

1 Volt-Amperes (VA) is equal to 0.001 Kilovolt-Amperes (kVA).

1 VA = 0.001 kVA
or
1 kVA = 1000 VA

What is volt-ampere?

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

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
