Your question is a perfect example of why it's so important to use correct symbols, because you (presumably) mean 'How do you convert 12.5 megavolt amperes into kilovolt amperes?'.

The correct symbol for megavolt ampere is MV.A, not mva because a lower-case 'm' represents 'milli' not 'mega'! So you're original question appeared to be asking how one would convert '12.5 millivolt amperes' to 'kilovolt amperes'! And the symbols for volt and ampere, incidentally, are both capitalised: V and A.

So, 12.5 MV.A corresponds to 12 500 kV.A.

Let's start by getting the symbols correct. The symbol for kilowatt is 'kW', not 'kw', and the symbol of megavolt ampere is 'MVA', not 'mva' -remember, a lower-case 'm' represents 'milli', not 'mega'!

The true power output of a generator depends on the power factor of the load, so if a generator is capable of supplying a 12.5 MVA load, then it is capable of supplying 12.5 MW. On the other hand, if the power factor of the load was, say, 0.5, then the generator would only supply 6.25 MW.

Megavolt amps cannot be converted to amps without knowing the source as they have two different units. The current source may offer a conversion factor where comparison is possible.

How much power in a 15000 kva transformer?

The power in a 15 MVA (15000 KVA) transformer depends on the power factor. You did not specify the power factor, so I will assume a power factor of 0.92. Simply multiply MVA by PF and you get 13.8 MW.


How do you convert 240 volts to 125 kVA?

To answer this question a current value needs to be given. 125000 is the product of amps times volts. I = W/E = 521 amps. So to bring 240 volts up to 125 KVA you need the circuit load to draw 521 amps.


How do you convert volts to mva?

Do you mean 'megavolt ampere' (MV.A) or 'millivolt ampere' (mV.A)? By using the incorrect symbol ('mva'), this is not clear.To determine the apparent power, in volt amperes, you divide the true power, in watts, by the power factor of the load. One volt ampere is one-millionth of a megavolt ampere ('MV.A' -not 'mva') -assuming you don't mean 'millivolt ampere' ('mV.A')!
