What is a pound-foot per second?

A pound-foot per second is an Imperial unit of power that measures the rate of work done using one pound-force foot per second.

What does kilovolt ampere [kV*A] represent?

Kilovolt ampere [kV*A] is a unit of apparent power in AC electrical systems representing the product of RMS voltage and RMS current without considering power factor.

Why convert pound-foot per second to kilovolt ampere?

Converting from pound-foot per second to kilovolt ampere allows comparison of mechanical power expressed in Imperial units with electrical apparent power used in AC system design and analysis.
