What does one kilovolt ampere represent?

One kilovolt ampere (kV*A) represents apparent power in AC electrical systems equal to 1,000 volt-amperes, combining RMS voltage and current measurements without power factor.

How is kilojoule per minute used?

Kilojoule per minute (kJ/min) measures the rate of energy transfer or consumption over each minute, often used in physiology and laboratory calorimetry.

Why does the converter use 1 kV*A equals 60 kJ/min?

The conversion factor reflects translating apparent power in kilovolt amperes into an equivalent energy transfer rate per minute for relevant applications.

Click the convert button to get the equivalent energy transfer rate in kilojoules per minute

Key Features

Converts kilovolt ampere (kV*A) to kilojoule per minute (kJ/min) with a fixed rate of 1 kV*A = 60 kJ/min
Provides quick translation between electrical apparent power and energy rate per minute
Supports applications in engineering, physiology, and laboratory settings

Examples

Converting 2 kV*A results in 120 kJ/min
Converting 0.5 kV*A results in 30 kJ/min

Common Use Cases

Rating transformers, generators, and UPS systems based on apparent power
Reporting metabolic energy expenditure during exercise in units of energy per minute
Describing heating or cooling rates in calorimetry where measurements are tracked each minute
Specifying power for small appliances or processes measured over minutes instead of seconds

Tips & Best Practices

Remember that kilovolt ampere measures apparent power and does not consider the power factor
Use this conversion when energy transfer rates per minute are more relevant than instantaneous power
Apply caution when using kilojoule per minute for large-scale electrical power as it suits smaller or biological energy measurements better

Limitations

Kilovolt ampere units measure apparent power without accounting for power factor, so conversion assumes full active power equivalence
Kilojoule per minute units are not commonly used for large electrical power evaluations and fit better for small-scale or physiological energy rates
