mega volt amperes

1 MVA = 1000KVA, 1KVA = 1000VA

VA is equivalent to Voltage times current; it includes both real (watts) and reactive (vars) power; In techno speak it is the vector sum of real and reactive power. Thus it is a useful term for calculating the size of equipment necessary, since equipment must be sized for total current flow (both real and reactive contribution).

What kind of power is MVA?

MVA is the aparant power.


What does mva mean in electrical terms?

MVA is the apparent power. MVA=( MW+ MVAr)1/2


How transformer converts mva to kv?

Transformer does not convert MVA to KV. MVA is unit of power, where as KV is unit of Voltage. Transformer converts voltgae. Step up or Step down.


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.


What does mva stand for in the turbo generator field?

There are two concerns here regarding loading on transformers of this size. First is the difference between MVA and MW. MW is just real power -- watts. MVA is total power which includes real power (MW) and reactive power (MVAR).--- http://en.allexperts.com/q/Electric-Power-Utilities-2405/operation-limit-oof-power.htm


How do you calculate MVAR with mw and mva?

mw/mva=power factor reactive power(Q)=I2XL or E2/XL where XL= REACTANCE apparent power = square root of (MW2 + MVAR2 )

How do you convert MVA into MW?

You would have to know the Power Factor, normally designated PF. MVA x PF = MW. If the PF is unity then MVA = MW. A PF of UNITY suggest the load is purely resistive with neither capacitive nor inductive components in the load or source. Of course this can mean such components have been balanced artificially.


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')!
