Unit Description
Microwatt (µW)
Definition
A microwatt (µW) is a unit of power equal to one millionth of a watt (10⁻⁶ W). It represents extremely small amounts of power found in ultra-low-power electronics, biological systems, and precision scientific instruments.
History
The microwatt became necessary with the advancement of microelectronics and the development of ultra-low-power devices. It was particularly important for describing power consumption in integrated circuits, sensors, and biological measurement systems.
Current Use
Microwatts are used in microelectronics, biological research, precision instruments, and ultra-low-power applications. They're essential for describing power consumption in microprocessors, biological sensors, and advanced scientific equipment.
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.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Microwatt to Kilovolt-Ampere
- Conversion Factor: 1 µW = 1e-9 kVA
- Conversion Formula: kVA = µW ÷ 1e+9
- Calculation: 1 µW ÷ 1e+9 = 1e-9 kVA
Convert 10 Microwatt to Kilovolt-Ampere
- Conversion Factor: 1 µW = 1e-9 kVA
- Conversion Formula: kVA = µW ÷ 1e+9
- Calculation: 10 µW ÷ 1e+9 = 1e-8 kVA
Convert 100 Microwatt to Kilovolt-Ampere
- Conversion Factor: 1 µW = 1e-9 kVA
- Conversion Formula: kVA = µW ÷ 1e+9
- Calculation: 100 µW ÷ 1e+9 = 1e-7 kVA
Convert 1,000 Microwatt to Kilovolt-Ampere
- Conversion Factor: 1 µW = 1e-9 kVA
- Conversion Formula: kVA = µW ÷ 1e+9
- Calculation: 1,000 µW ÷ 1e+9 = 0.000001 kVA
