What does volt ampere (V*A) represent?

Volt ampere is a unit of apparent power in AC circuits, calculated as the product of RMS voltage and RMS current, representing total power delivered regardless of phase angle.

What is a ton (refrigeration) used for?

Ton (refrigeration) measures cooling capacity, defined by the heat removal rate to melt ice, and is commonly used to specify HVAC and refrigeration equipment power.

Can this conversion provide exact cooling output?

No, this conversion approximates cooling capacity but does not directly measure actual cooling output due to power factor, efficiency, and unit limitations.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure accurate input values in volt ampere reflecting the actual apparent power.
Remember that conversion assumes an appropriate power factor and efficiency for accurate cooling estimation.
Use the tool primarily for understanding relations between electrical power and thermal capacity rather than precise measurements.

Limitations

Volt ampere measures apparent power and does not directly represent actual cooling output.
Conversion assumes conditions affecting power factor and equipment efficiency, which can affect accuracy.
Ton (refrigeration) is a non-SI unit approximated based on BTU/h and watts, so results are approximate.
