Unit Description
Nanowatt (nW)
Definition
A nanowatt (nW) is a unit of power equal to one billionth of a watt (10⁻⁹ W). It represents incredibly small amounts of power found in advanced microelectronics, quantum devices, and ultra-sensitive scientific instruments.
History
The nanowatt became relevant with the development of nanotechnology and quantum electronics. It provided a scale for describing power levels in quantum devices, advanced semiconductors, and ultra-sensitive measurement systems where power consumption approaches fundamental limits.
Current Use
Nanowatts are used in nanotechnology, quantum electronics, ultra-sensitive instruments, and advanced research applications. They're essential for quantum device specifications, nanoelectronics, and precision scientific measurements at the molecular level.
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 Nanowatt to Kilovolt-Ampere
- Conversion Factor: 1 nW = 1e-12 kVA
- Conversion Formula: kVA = nW ÷ 1e+12
- Calculation: 1 nW ÷ 1e+12 = 1e-12 kVA
Convert 10 Nanowatt to Kilovolt-Ampere
- Conversion Factor: 1 nW = 1e-12 kVA
- Conversion Formula: kVA = nW ÷ 1e+12
- Calculation: 10 nW ÷ 1e+12 = 1e-11 kVA
Convert 100 Nanowatt to Kilovolt-Ampere
- Conversion Factor: 1 nW = 1e-12 kVA
- Conversion Formula: kVA = nW ÷ 1e+12
- Calculation: 100 nW ÷ 1e+12 = 1e-10 kVA
Convert 1,000 Nanowatt to Kilovolt-Ampere
- Conversion Factor: 1 nW = 1e-12 kVA
- Conversion Formula: kVA = nW ÷ 1e+12
- Calculation: 1,000 nW ÷ 1e+12 = 1e-9 kVA
