What does one volt ampere measure?

One volt ampere measures apparent power in AC circuits as the product of root-mean-square voltage and current, independent of phase angle.

How is dekajoule per second related to watts?

One dekajoule per second equals ten watts, and it represents a power measurement as the rate of energy transfer.

Why might the converted power differ from real power?

Because volt ampere measures apparent power, the converted value matches real power only when the power factor is one; otherwise, they represent different physical quantities.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure power factor is considered when interpreting converted values, as volt ampere measures apparent power
Use the tool for approximate translation of apparent power into energy transfer rates when power factor is close to 1
Validate the context where real power versus apparent power distinction is critical before relying on conversions
Refer to the device specifications to understand the nature of power being measured

Limitations

Converted values exactly represent real power only if the power factor equals 1
Volt ampere measures apparent power, which differs from real power when the phase angle between voltage and current is not zero
Additional information regarding power factor is necessary to fully interpret converted power in dekajoule/second
This tool does not account for reactive power components in AC systems

Key Terminology

Volt ampere (V*A): Unit of apparent power in AC circuits that equals the product of RMS voltage and RMS current, reflecting total delivered power regardless of phase.
Dekajoule per second (daJ/s): SI-derived unit of power equal to 10 joules per second or 10 watts, used to measure energy transfer rate.
Apparent Power: The total power in an AC circuit calculated as the product of voltage and current without accounting for phase angle.
Power Factor: A dimensionless number representing the phase difference between voltage and current; when equal to 1, apparent power equals real power.
