The symbol, kV.A (not 'kva'), represents kilovolt amperes, which is the unit of measurement for apparent power -i.e. the product of supply voltage and load current in an a.c. circuit. The symbol, kV (not'kv'), represents kilovolts, which is the unit of measurement for potential difference.

What is the difference between the single line diagram of a 33 kV substation and a 66 kV substation and if possible then please provide the S.L.D. of both substations?

basically there will not be any difference between them. the capacity of equipment will be more such as the CB rating will be more basically there will not be any difference between them. the capacity of equipment will be more such as the CB rating will be more


Voltage of a cable is 220 kv what does this mean?

The lower-case 'k' in 'kV' (not 'kv') is a multiplier, representing 'kilo', meaning 'a thousand times', and the upper-case 'V' represents 'volts', the SI unit for potential difference. So a '220-kV' cable has a line voltage (voltage between conductors) of 220 kV.


Can direct current kW be converted to KVA?

With a dc system the kW are always equal to the kV times the amps. It's only with ac that the kW are usually less than the kVA by a factor called the power factor.


What is Kvr?

kV is kilovolts, kW is kilowatts, kVA is kilovolt amps and kVAR is kilovolt-amps reactive. A common formula is kVA-squared = kW-squared + kVAR-squared.


How many kv in kw?

kV measures the voltage, while the kW measures the power. Apart from a general relationship that high power is usually associated with high voltage, nothing more definite can be said.


How many kv is 850kw?

"kV" is referring to voltage, "KW" is referring to power. This is synonomous with asking "how many apples are in the tree?" without giving any more information about the tree, or back to your question, the current.


How do you tell the difference from 13.2 kv power line to 4.8 kv power line?

The higher-voltage line will have longer insulators and the line conductors will be further apart. And the symbol for kilovolt is 'kV', not 'kv'.


What is difference between KV and KVA for transmission line?

KV, kilovolts, or kilojoules per coulomb is not the same thing as KVA, kilovoltamperes, or kilojoules per second, and no direct comparison exists. Please restate the question.
