What does kilovolt ampere (kV*A) represent?

Kilovolt ampere is a unit of apparent power in AC electrical systems, equal to 1,000 volt-amperes, measuring the product of RMS voltage and current without considering power factor.

What is foot pound-force per minute used for?

It measures mechanical power as work done per minute and is commonly used in legacy or imperial engineering contexts to report small mechanical power.

Can I directly compare kilovolt ampere values to foot pound-force per minute?

While you can convert between these units, remember kilovolt ampere measures apparent electrical power and foot pound-force per minute represents mechanical power, so exact equivalence requires ideal conditions.
