What Is This Tool?

This converter tool allows users to transform power measurements from metric horsepower, a unit frequently used to rate mechanical engine power, into kilovolt ampere (kV*A), which expresses apparent power in AC electrical systems. It is useful for relating mechanical motor outputs to electrical power requirements.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in horsepower (metric) you want to convert
  • Select horsepower (metric) as the source unit
  • Choose kilovolt ampere [kV*A] as the target unit
  • Click convert to see the equivalent kilovolt ampere value

Key Features

  • Converts metric horsepower to kilovolt ampere using a precise conversion factor
  • Supports units commonly used in automotive, industrial, and electrical engineering contexts
  • Suitable for translating mechanical power ratings into electrical apparent power values

Examples

  • 5 horsepower (metric) converts to 3.67749375 kilovolt ampere [kV*A]
  • 10 horsepower (metric) converts to 7.3549875 kilovolt ampere [kV*A]

Common Use Cases

  • Rating car and motorcycle engine power in European and Asian markets
  • Specifying output for small industrial motors, pumps, and generators
  • Assessing electrical apparent power capacity in transformers and UPS systems
  • Estimating total electrical load for industrial power system design

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this conversion when comparing mechanical power outputs with electrical system capacities
  • Consider the context of AC power systems when interpreting kilovolt ampere values
  • Account for power factor and phase differences in practical electrical applications

Limitations

  • Kilovolt ampere measures apparent power and does not reflect real power accurately without considering power factor
  • Conversion assumes purely resistive load conditions which may not apply in real installations
  • Phase shifts and system losses are not included in this basic conversion

Frequently Asked Questions

What does metric horsepower measure?
Metric horsepower measures the rate of energy transfer or work done by an engine or motor and equals exactly 735.49875 watts.

What is a kilovolt ampere (kV*A)?
A kilovolt ampere is a unit of apparent power in AC electrical systems representing 1,000 volt-amperes, quantifying RMS voltage times RMS current.

Why use this conversion tool?
It helps relate mechanical power ratings from engines or motors to electrical apparent power units needed for system design and capacity evaluation.

Key Terminology

Horsepower (metric)
A unit of power equal to exactly 735.49875 watts, used to express mechanical power output.
Kilovolt ampere [kV*A]
A unit of apparent power in AC electrical systems equal to 1,000 volt-amperes; product of RMS voltage and RMS current.
Apparent Power
The combination of real power and reactive power in an AC system, represented by volt-amperes or kilovolt-amperes.
