Apparent Power Units Introduction
Volt-ampere (VA) is a unit of apparent power used to represent the total power in an electrical system. Apparent power includes real power (active power) and reactive power. 1 volt-ampere equals the voltage of 1 volt multiplied by the current of 1 ampere. Volt-amperes are primarily used in AC systems to describe the capacity of transformers and generators.
Millivolt-ampere (mVA) is a smaller unit of apparent power, equal to one-thousandth of a volt-ampere (0.001 VA). It is commonly used to describe small electronic devices or low-power applications.
Kilovolt-ampere (kVA) is a larger unit of apparent power, equal to 1,000 volt-amperes (1 kVA = 1,000 VA). It is commonly used to describe medium-sized electrical equipment, such as small to medium transformers and generators.
Megavolt-ampere (MVA) is an even larger unit of apparent power, equal to 1,000,000 volt-amperes (1 MVA = 1,000,000 VA). It is commonly used to describe large electrical equipment, such as large transformers and industrial generators.
Gigavolt-ampere (GVA) is one of the largest units of apparent power, equal to 1,000,000,000 volt-amperes (1 GVA = 1,000,000,000 VA). It is typically used to describe extremely large power infrastructure, such as large power plants and high-voltage transmission systems.
