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

Quick Reference

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

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

How to Convert Kilovolt-Ampere to Gigavolt-Ampere

1 kVA = 1.0000e-6 GVA
1 GVA = 1000000 kVA

To convert Kilovolt-Ampere to Gigavolt-Ampere, divide the value by 1000000 (equivalently, multiply by 1.0000e-6). To convert Gigavolt-Ampere back to Kilovolt-Ampere, multiply by 1000000.

Example: convert 10 kVA to GVA:
10 kVA = 10 x 1.0000e-6 = 1.0000e-5 GVA

↔ Convert Gigavolt-Ampere to Kilovolt-Ampere

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.

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.
