Kilo simply means 1000. Volt-ampere (VA) is a measure of power, similar to the watt. Volt is a measure of voltage, or electrical pressure. Voltage means electricity is available, but unless it is actually used, no current (amperes) flows, and no work (power) is done. Suppose you have a motor that needs 1000 volts to run, and when it is on it draws one ampere (amp) of current. We would say the motor supply voltage is one kilovolt. When the motor is running, we would say it uses one kilovolt-ampere (1KVA) of power (1 ampere * 1000 volts = 1000 VA or 1 KVA).

∙ 14y agoThere are as many volts in a kilovolt-ampere as the amperes require!
A kilovolt-ampere is a unit of electrical energy "supplied or consumed at a certain rate" and is equivalent to 1000 watts.
To get watts you have to know both the voltage (volts) and the current (amps) used by a particular appliance or piece of electrical equipment.
Then, using the Power Law, you can calculate watts = volts * amps.
So, for example, an appliance that uses 4 amps at 240 volts will consume electricity at a rate of 960 watts and another appliance that uses 8 amps at 120 volts will also use 960 watts.

Why calculate 22kv in mva?
A kilovolt (kV, not 'kv') is the SI unit for potential and potential difference (voltage), whereas the kilovolt ampere (kV.A, not'kva') is the unit for apparent power. These are quite different quantities, so you cannot change one to another -if that is what you are asking.
Micro welds are formed where?
Standard welder sizes are between 5 to 500 kilovolt amperes, but micro spot welders may be as small as 1.5 kilovolt amperes. They are used in many types of industries which require precision welding.

What is kilo volt?
Kilovolt = 1000 volts.
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 difference between a kilovolt and volt?
999 Volts A Kilovolt is 1000 volts.
What is the difference between Kilovolt Ampere and Kilowatt?
A kilowatt is an unit of true power in an AC circuit -as measured by a wattmeter. A kilovolt ampere is an unit of apparent power in an AC circuit, which is the product of the voltage across a load by the current through it. The relationship between the two is: kilowatt = (kilovolt ampere) x (power factor of load)
What is the difference bewten KV And KWH?
KV is kiloVolt and KWH is KiloWatt Hour
How do you convert 230volt to 1 kilovolt?
That is really impssible.

How do you calculate kva from amps?
At what voltage? If you know the voltage then, to get the amps those kilovolt-amps contain, you simply divide the kilovolt-amps by the voltage.
How many volts are in a kilovolt?
1 thousand
What is kilo volt?
Kilovolt = 1000 volts.
How many KVA is 62 amps?
At what voltage? When you know the voltage then, to get the amps those kilovolt-amps contain, you simply divide the kilovolt-amps by the voltage.
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.
