What does Btu (th)/minute measure?

Btu (th)/minute measures the rate of thermal energy flow, indicating heating or cooling capacity in thermal systems.

What is volt ampere [V*A] used for?

Volt ampere [V*A] quantifies apparent power in AC circuits, important for rating electrical transformers, UPS, and other equipment.

Can this converter account for power factor?

No, this conversion assumes apparent power equivalency and does not consider power factor or efficiency.
