What does calorie (th)/second measure?

Calorie (th)/second measures thermal power as the rate of transfer of thermochemical calories of energy per second.

What is a kilovolt ampere [kV*A]?

Kilovolt ampere [kV*A] is a unit of apparent power in AC electrical systems, representing the product of RMS voltage and current without considering phase angle.

Why convert between calorie (th)/second and kilovolt ampere?

Conversions help translate legacy thermal power values into electrical power ratings useful for integrated system design and analysis.

Rating transformers, generators, and uninterruptible power supplies in electrical distribution

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure you understand the difference between thermal power and electrical apparent power when interpreting results
Use conversions primarily for unit consistency and comparing power magnitudes across systems
Verify the context of your conversion, especially in power system design involving both heat and electrical loads

Limitations

Conversion assumes equivalence in power magnitude but does not account for power factor or energy type differences
Not suitable for direct energy exchange calculations between thermal and electrical systems
Intended mainly for unit consistency and comparison rather than precise energy transfer modeling
