Unit Description

BTU per Second (BTU/s)

Definition

BTU per second (BTU/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one British Thermal Unit per second. It's used in thermal engineering and HVAC applications, particularly in imperial unit systems.

History

BTU per second developed with the British Thermal Unit system and became important in thermal engineering and HVAC applications. It provided a power unit consistent with BTU energy measurements, particularly useful in heating and cooling system design.

Current Use

BTU per second is used in HVAC engineering, thermal system design, and heating/cooling applications. It's standard in imperial unit thermal calculations, boiler specifications, and air conditioning system ratings.

Kilovolt-Ampere (kVA)

Definition

Kilovolt-ampere (kVA) is a unit of apparent power equal to one thousand volt-amperes. It's widely used for rating large AC electrical equipment, transformers, and electrical systems where apparent power is the primary concern.

History

Kilovolt-ampere became standard with the growth of large AC electrical systems and power distribution. It provided an appropriate scale for rating transformers, generators, and large electrical equipment where apparent power capacity was the critical specification.

Current Use

Kilovolt-amperes are extensively used for transformer ratings, generator specifications, large UPS systems, and electrical distribution equipment. They're standard for power system design, electrical equipment ratings, and AC power capacity specifications.
