What does kilovolt ampere measure?

Kilovolt ampere quantifies the apparent power in AC electrical systems as the product of RMS voltage and RMS current without considering power factor.

What is the dekajoule per second used for?

Dekajoule per second is an SI-derived unit of power that measures the rate of energy transfer, equal to 10 watts.

Why might this conversion not reflect actual active power?

Because kilovolt ampere does not include the power factor, converting it directly to dekajoule per second may not represent the real power delivered to the load.

What Is This Tool?

This tool enables you to convert power measurements from kilovolt ampere (kV*A), which represents apparent power in alternating-current electrical systems, into dekajoule per second (daJ/s), a unit that quantifies energy transfer over time.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in kilovolt ampere (kV*A) you wish to convert.
Select dekajoule per second (daJ/s) as the target unit.
Click convert to get the result based on the conversion factor.

Key Features

Converts apparent power units of kilovolt ampere to SI power units dekajoule per second.
Easy-to-use interface for accurate unit translation.
Supports electrical engineering and energy management applications.

Examples

2 kV*A converts to 200 daJ/s.
0.5 kV*A is equivalent to 50 daJ/s.

Common Use Cases

Rating transformers, generators, and UPS where apparent power capacity is required.
Specifying capacity for electrical distribution in buildings and data centers.
Estimating total industrial loads including reactive components in power system design.
Translating apparent power into an SI-derived power unit for energy consumption comparisons.

Tips & Best Practices

Understand that kilovolt ampere represents apparent power without power factor consideration.
Use this conversion to compare apparent power with actual energy transfer units.
Consider power factor separately when precise active power measurements are needed.

Limitations

Kilovolt ampere measures apparent power; conversion does not reflect true active power without power factor.
Direct conversion might not accurately represent real power delivered.
Always account for phase angle and power factor for exact power evaluation.
