Volt-Ampere [VA] to Millivolt-Ampere [mVA] Converter

Quick Reference

1 Volt-Ampere (VA) = 1000 Millivolt-Ampere (mVA)

1 Millivolt-Ampere (mVA) = 0.001 Volt-Ampere (VA)

How to Convert Volt-Ampere to Millivolt-Ampere

1 VA = 1000 mVA
1 mVA = 0.001 VA

To convert Volt-Ampere to Millivolt-Ampere, multiply the value by 1000. To convert Millivolt-Ampere back to Volt-Ampere, divide by 1000.

Example: convert 10 VA to mVA:
10 VA = 10 x 1000 = 10000 mVA

Volt-Ampere

Definition: A volt-ampere (VA) is a unit of measurement for apparent power in an AC (alternating current) electrical circuit. Apparent power is the product of the root mean square (RMS) voltage and the RMS current. It is the total power supplied to the circuit, including both real (active) power and reactive power.

History/origin: The concept of apparent power and the unit volt-ampere arose with the development of AC power systems in the late 19th century. Engineers recognized that AC circuits involved both real power (measured in watts) and reactive power. The volt-ampere unit was introduced to quantify the total power supplied, encompassing both components.

Current use: VAs are widely used in electrical engineering to specify the capacity of electrical equipment such as transformers, generators, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). It is also used in specifying the power requirements of electrical loads and the capacity of power distribution systems.

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.
