What does one newton meter per second represent?

One newton meter per second is a unit of power equal to one joule per second or one watt, representing mechanical power.

What is a kilovolt ampere [kV*A]?

A kilovolt ampere [kV*A] is a unit of apparent power in AC electrical systems, equal to 1,000 volt-amperes, representing the product of RMS voltage and current without considering power factor.

Why is it important to consider power factor when converting to kilovolt ampere?

Because kilovolt ampere measures apparent power without factoring in phase differences, ignoring power factor can misrepresent the actual real power delivered in AC systems.
