What does kilocalorie (th)/minute represent?

Kilocalorie (th)/minute measures the rate of thermal energy transfer as thermochemical kilocalories delivered per minute.

What is a kilovolt ampere [kV*A] used for?

Kilovolt ampere [kV*A] is a unit of apparent power in AC electrical systems, useful for rating equipment like transformers and UPS systems.

Can I directly equate thermal power and electrical apparent power?

No, they represent different physical quantities; conversions are approximate and mainly for specific interdisciplinary comparisons.
