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.
Deciwatt (dW)
Definition
A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one tenth of a watt (0.1 W). It represents very small power levels typically found in low-power electronic devices, sensors, and precision instruments.
History
The deciwatt developed as part of the metric system's decimal structure, providing a convenient unit for small power measurements. It became useful for describing power consumption of low-power electronic devices and precision instruments.
Current Use
Deciwatts are used for low-power electronic devices, sensor specifications, and precision instruments. They're found in specifications for small sensors, low-power circuits, and electronic devices requiring minimal power consumption.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Kilovolt-Ampere to Deciwatt
- Conversion Factor: 1 kVA = 10,000 dW
- Conversion Formula: dW = kVA × 10,000
- Calculation: 1 kVA × 10,000 = 10,000 dW
Convert 10 Kilovolt-Ampere to Deciwatt
- Conversion Factor: 1 kVA = 10,000 dW
- Conversion Formula: dW = kVA × 10,000
- Calculation: 10 kVA × 10,000 = 100,000 dW
Convert 100 Kilovolt-Ampere to Deciwatt
- Conversion Factor: 1 kVA = 10,000 dW
- Conversion Formula: dW = kVA × 10,000
- Calculation: 100 kVA × 10,000 = 1e+6 dW
Convert 1,000 Kilovolt-Ampere to Deciwatt
- Conversion Factor: 1 kVA = 10,000 dW
- Conversion Formula: dW = kVA × 10,000
- Calculation: 1,000 kVA × 10,000 = 1e+7 dW
