What does volt ampere (VA) represent?

Volt ampere is a unit of apparent power in AC circuits, calculated from the product of rms voltage and current, representing total power independent of phase angle.

When should I use petajoule per second (PJ/s)?

Petajoule per second is suitable for describing extremely large power flows, such as continental energy rates or astrophysical power budgets.

Does the conversion consider the power factor?

No, the conversion strictly uses apparent power and does not account for power factor, which affects real power measurements.

Use the results for analysis or reporting of power flow scales.

Key Features

Converts apparent power in volt ampere to petajoule per second.
Supports comparisons between small-scale electrical ratings and extremely large power flows.
Browser-based and easy to use without special software.
Provides conversion based on standardized units of power.
Helpful for applications ranging from engineering to astrophysics.

Examples

1,000,000 volt ampere (V*A) equals 1e-9 petajoule/second (PJ/s).
5,000,000,000 volt ampere (V*A) converts to 5e-6 petajoule/second (PJ/s).

Common Use Cases

Rating transformers, UPS, and generator apparent power.
Analyzing large-scale energy flows at continental or national levels.
Studying planetary or astrophysical power budgets.
Planning and comparing large power infrastructure and grids.

Tips & Best Practices

Understand that volt ampere reflects apparent power, not always actual power delivered.
Use petajoule/second for extremely large power measurements to handle vast energy scales.
Consider the power factor when applying converted values in real power contexts.

Limitations

Volt ampere measures apparent power and may differ from actual power if power factor ≠ 1.
Petajoule/second units represent enormous power scales, making small conversions produce very tiny numbers.
Conversion ignores power factor effects on real power, which can impact practical calculations.
