What does 1 dekajoule/second equal in kilovolt ampere?

One dekajoule/second is equal to 0.01 kilovolt ampere according to the conversion rate used in this tool.

Why convert from dekajoule/second to kilovolt ampere?

Converting to kilovolt ampere allows expressing power values in terms of apparent power common in AC electrical systems, useful for specifying equipment ratings and load capacity.

Does this conversion account for power factor?

No, the kilovolt ampere unit measures apparent power and does not include the power factor, so the conversion may not represent true usable power.
