What does 1 kilocalorie (IT)/minute represent?

It represents a power unit measuring the rate of energy transfer equal to one kilocalorie (International Table) delivered or consumed every minute, commonly used to quantify metabolic or thermal energy.

What is a volt ampere [V*A] used for?

Volt ampere is the unit of apparent power in AC circuits, used to rate equipment like transformers and UPS by their total delivered power regardless of power factor.

Can I use this converter to find actual electrical wattage?

No, since volt ampere measures apparent power, the actual usable power in watts depends on the power factor and may differ from the converted value.
