What does volt ampere (V*A) measure?

Volt ampere measures apparent power in AC circuits, calculated as the product of root-mean-square voltage and current regardless of power factor.

Why convert volt ampere to kilojoule per minute?

This conversion expresses apparent electrical power as an energy transfer rate over minutes, useful for energy-related analyses in various fields.

Can I directly equate volt ampere to watts?

No, volt ampere equals watts only when the power factor is 1, meaning purely resistive loads without reactive components.
