Gigavolt-Ampere [GVA] to Millivolt-Ampere [mVA] Converter
Quick Reference
1 Gigavolt-Ampere (GVA) = 1.0000e+12 Millivolt-Ampere (mVA)
1 Millivolt-Ampere (mVA) = 1.0000e-12 Gigavolt-Ampere (GVA)
How to Convert Gigavolt-Ampere to Millivolt-Ampere
1 GVA = 1000000000000 mVA
1 mVA = 1e-12 GVA
To convert Gigavolt-Ampere to Millivolt-Ampere, multiply the value by 1.0000e+12. To convert Millivolt-Ampere back to Gigavolt-Ampere, divide by 1.0000e+12.
Example: convert 10 GVA to mVA:
10 GVA = 10 x 1000000000000 = 10000000000000 mVA
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.
Millivolt-Ampere
Definition: A millivolt-ampere (mVA) is a unit of measurement for apparent power, equal to one-thousandth of a VA (Volt-Ampere). It is used to quantify smaller amounts of apparent power in AC electrical circuits.
History/origin: The millivolt-ampere (mVA) is a derivative of the VA (Volt-Ampere). The 'milli-' prefix denotes a factor of 10^-3, making mVA suitable for measuring smaller apparent power quantities.
Current use: mVA are used in applications where precise measurement of small apparent power quantities is needed, such as in electronic circuits and small power electronic devices. They can also be used in detailed power system analysis and simulation studies.
