kVA to VA (Volt-Amps) Calculator
Apparent power in volt-amps:
Calculation Formula
S(VA) = 1000 × S(kVA)
Where:
- S(VA) is the apparent power in volt-amps
- S(kVA) is the apparent power in kilovolt-amps
How to Convert kVA to VA
To convert from kilovolt-amps (kVA) to volt-amps (VA), simply multiply the kVA value by 1000:
The apparent power S in volt-amps (VA) is equal to 1000 times the apparent power S in kilovolt-amps (kVA):
Example Calculation
What is the apparent power in volt-amps when the apparent power is 3 kVA?
S = 1000 × 3kVA = 3000VA

About kVA and VA
kVA (kilovolt-amps) and VA (volt-amps) are both units of apparent power in an electrical circuit. The main difference is the scale, with 1 kVA equaling 1000 VA. Apparent power is the combination of real power and reactive power in AC systems.
This calculator is useful for electrical engineers, technicians, and students working with power systems and electrical equipment specifications.
