What does a kilovolt ampere measure?

A kilovolt ampere (kV*A) measures apparent power in AC electrical systems by multiplying RMS voltage and RMS current without accounting for the phase angle.

Why convert from kilovolt ampere to pound-foot per second?

Conversion helps interpret electrical apparent power in mechanical power terms useful for engineering tasks involving both electrical and mechanical systems.

Does this conversion consider power factor or efficiency?

No, the conversion assumes ideal conditions and does not include power factor or system efficiency effects.
