What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to transform power values measured in kilovolt ampere, a unit of apparent power in AC electrical systems, into electric horsepower, which rates the output power of electric motors.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in kilovolt ampere [kV*A]
  • Select the input unit as kilovolt ampere [kV*A]
  • Choose the output unit as electric horsepower
  • Click convert to see the equivalent power in horsepower (electric)

Key Features

  • Supports conversion of apparent power in kilovolt ampere to electric horsepower
  • Includes common use cases for electrical systems and motor rating
  • Provides an easy method to relate electrical and mechanical power units

Examples

  • 2 kilovolt ampere equals approximately 2.68 horsepower (electric)
  • 5 kilovolt ampere corresponds to about 6.70 horsepower (electric)

Common Use Cases

  • Rating transformers and generators for apparent power capacity
  • Sizing electric motors and their controllers in industrial equipment
  • Converting between electrical apparent power and motor output power for specifications
  • Planning power distribution in buildings and data centers

Tips & Best Practices

  • Consider power factor when interpreting kilovolt ampere values due to reactive power components
  • Use this conversion to compare electrical system capacity with mechanical motor power ratings
  • Verify the definition of horsepower in your context, as electric horsepower is fixed at 746 watts

Limitations

  • Kilovolt ampere measures apparent power including reactive power, not directly usable mechanical power
  • Power factor must be accounted for precise or practical power comparisons
  • Electric horsepower is defined exactly as 746 watts, but other horsepower definitions may vary

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a kilovolt ampere (kV*A)?
It is a unit of apparent power in AC systems equal to 1,000 volt-amperes, representing RMS voltage multiplied by RMS current without considering power factor.

What does electric horsepower represent?
Electric horsepower is a power unit used to rate electric motors, defined exactly as 746 watts, equating to the mechanical power output from an electric motor.

Why is power factor important in this conversion?
Power factor affects the relationship between apparent power in kV*A and real mechanical power, so it must be considered for accurate power evaluation.

Key Terminology

Kilovolt Ampere (kV*A)
A unit of apparent power in AC electrical systems equal to 1,000 volt-amperes, representing the product of RMS voltage and RMS current without considering phase angle.
Electric Horsepower
A unit of power rating electric motors, defined as exactly 746 watts, indicating the mechanical power output equivalent of an electric machine.
Apparent Power
The total power in an AC circuit, including both real and reactive power components, measured in units like kilovolt amperes.
Power Factor
The phase angle ratio between real power and apparent power in AC electrical systems, important for accurate power measurement.
