What does calorie (th)/minute measure?

Calorie (th)/minute measures the rate of heat or energy transfer based on thermochemical calories delivered per minute.

What is a kilovolt ampere [kV*A]?

A kilovolt ampere [kV*A] is a unit of apparent power in AC electrical systems, quantifying the product of RMS voltage and current without accounting for phase angle.

Can I directly compare calorie (th)/minute and kilovolt ampere [kV*A] values?

While you can convert them, the units represent different types of power (thermal vs. electrical apparent power) and should be interpreted carefully.
