What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute represent?

It is a unit of power showing the rate at which energy from nutritional or thermal sources is produced, removed, or used each minute.

What is a kilovolt ampere (kV*A)?

It is a unit of apparent power in AC electrical systems, representing the product of RMS voltage and RMS current without accounting for power factor.

Why convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to kilovolt ampere?

To relate thermal or metabolic energy rates to electrical power capacities and loads for better comparison or integration in engineering and energy management.
