You cannot convert Volts (or kv, 1000 volts) to watts (or mega watts, 1,000,000 watts) because volts are measure of electric potential difference between two points and watts are a measure of energy/time. However, WATTS = VOLTS x AMPS so... if you have 1000 AMPS flowing over a resistance/load with a difference in potential of 1000 volts (1 KV), you have 1,000,000 WATTS (1 MEGAWATTS) of energy consumed/time. So if a motor has 1KV potential accross its terminals and it is consuming 1,000 AMPS, it is a 1 MegaWatt motor (a large one indeed). To get energy, you have to multiply this 1MegaWatt x the time the motor runs and x a conversion factor to get to the appropriate unit of energy. Yes, I've been called a nerd before.

∙ 14y agoA Kilowatt is one thousand Watts. "Kilo" stands for a thousand. "Mega" stands for One Million. So 100 "Kilowatts"= 100,000 watts. By that logic, multiply One "Kilowatt" which equals 1000 Watts x 1000, and it equal 1,000,000, which is one "Megawatt"

How do you compute ampere if the given is kvA kW power factor and voltage?
Some confusion hereKW and KVA are units of power. The ampere is a unit of current. If you divide power by the voltage involved, you can determine the current involved, in amps. Power (watts) = volts x ampsA volt-amp is a watt. (A volt times an amp is a watt.)I=(KVA*1000)/(1.732*V) (Three Phase)AMP=KW/1000*V*PF--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------KW or KVA can be converted to one another but you cannot convert them to amps. You can compute amps by using this formula,KW = I x V x 1.732 x P.F/1000 (Three phase)KVA = I x V x 1.732/1000 (Three phase)
How many kva in 14 amp?
There is appoximately zero kVA in 14amp, .5 volt AC.
600 volts is how many KVA?
It is apples and oranges--kVA and volts are different units describing different things. Determining kVA requires measuring both voltage and current.
How many Btu eual KVA?
3415 BTU = 1 kva The PDF uses kilowatt but they should be close enough...
How many kva to run a tea urn?
A typical tea urn would take 2-3 kW and the kVA would be the same.
1kva is equal to how many watts?
1 KVA = 1,000 watts or in other terms, 1 Kilowatt.
How many kva equal to 1 mega watt?
KVA is a rating for complex power (real + reactive power): KVA = KVAR + KW Also, there is 1000KVA in 1MVA, so there's at least 1000KVA in 1MW, but if the reactive power load is very high, there may be substantially more KVA.
How do you find kva?
k is 1000 V is volts A is amps basic algebra kVA = (V * A)/1000 120 Volt with 20 Amp would be: (120 * 20)/1000 = 2.4 kVA
How do you measure volts in kva rating?
KVA means kilo volt amps or kilo Watts. A watt = 1 volt X 1 Amp. Kilo is shorthand for 1000. A watt is a measure of power, which is voltage x amps. Therefore it is not possible to relate voltage to KVA without additional information. Formula wise the above is correct but if you really need the voltage, it can be measured with a volt meter or VOM by putting the test leads across the output terminals of the KVA device.
What kva comes into a house?
KVA is the abbreviation for kilo-volt-amp, or kilo-watt (volts x amps = watts) Your KVA is you amps used multiplied by 240 ( number of volts in the electrical service for your house) example: if your home draws 500 amps you are consuming you would be drawing 120,000 VA or 120 KVA. That help?
What is KVA to Watts?
Formulas you need for single phase calculations. KVA = I x E/1000, KW = I x E x pf (where pf = power factor). For your question multiply the KVA by the power factor to get KW and then move the decimal point three places to the right to get watts. They are virtually the same. A watt is volts times amps. KVA is thousand of volts time amps. KVA and KW ratings are the same.
37 kilowatta equals how many kVA?
kva and kw are related as KVA = (KW/PF) pf:power factor
How many va equal to kva?
1000 VA = 1 kva
How many VA equal 1 KVA?
1000 VA = 1 kva

How many kva on 88.88 amps in 1phase secondary 230 volts?
20.44 kva
How much kw in ikva?
Do you mean 1 kVA? kVA (thousands of volt-ampere) is the same as kW (thousands of watt) - assuming the current and the voltage are in phase (in other words, assuming the power factor is equal to 1), which is usually a good approximation.
