Unit Description
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.
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.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Kilovolt-Ampere to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 kVA = 0.947817 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = kVA ÷ 1.05506
- Calculation: 1 kVA ÷ 1.05506 = 0.947817 BTU/s
Convert 10 Kilovolt-Ampere to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 kVA = 0.947817 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = kVA ÷ 1.05506
- Calculation: 10 kVA ÷ 1.05506 = 9.47817 BTU/s
Convert 100 Kilovolt-Ampere to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 kVA = 0.947817 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = kVA ÷ 1.05506
- Calculation: 100 kVA ÷ 1.05506 = 94.7817 BTU/s
Convert 1,000 Kilovolt-Ampere to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 kVA = 0.947817 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = kVA ÷ 1.05506
- Calculation: 1,000 kVA ÷ 1.05506 = 947.817 BTU/s
