Gigavolt-Ampere [GVA] to Kilovolt-Ampere [kVA] Converter

Quick Reference

1 Gigavolt-Ampere (GVA) = 1000000 Kilovolt-Ampere (kVA)

1 Kilovolt-Ampere (kVA) = 1.0000e-6 Gigavolt-Ampere (GVA)

How to Convert Gigavolt-Ampere to Kilovolt-Ampere

1 GVA = 1000000 kVA
1 kVA = 0.000001 GVA

To convert Gigavolt-Ampere to Kilovolt-Ampere, multiply the value by 1000000. To convert Kilovolt-Ampere back to Gigavolt-Ampere, divide by 1000000.

Example: convert 10 GVA to kVA:
10 GVA = 10 x 1000000 = 10000000 kVA

↔ Convert Kilovolt-Ampere to Gigavolt-Ampere

Gigavolt-Ampere

Definition: A gigavolt-ampere (GVA) is a unit of measurement for apparent power, equal to 1,000,000,000 VA (Volt-Amperes).

History/origin: The gigavolt-ampere (GVA) is based on the concept of apparent power. The 'giga-' prefix indicates a factor of 1,000,000,000, making GVA suitable for extremely large apparent power quantities.

Current use: GVA are used to measure and manage apparent power in very large power systems and transmission networks. It is typically used to specify the capacity of large power plants and interconnection lines between regional grids.

Kilovolt-Ampere

Definition: A kilovolt-ampere (kVA) is a unit of measurement for apparent power, equal to 1000 VA (Volt-Amperes). Apparent power is the product of the root mean square (RMS) voltage and the RMS current.

History/origin: The kilovolt-ampere (kVA) is based on the concept of apparent power. The 'kilo-' prefix indicates a factor of 1000, making kVA a more convenient unit for larger apparent power quantities.

Current use: kVA are commonly used to measure and manage apparent power in industrial and commercial power systems. They are used in specifying the size of generators, transformers, and other electrical equipment, as well as in billing customers for electricity consumption.
