Unit Description
Volt-Ampere (VA)
Definition
Volt-ampere (VA) is a unit of apparent power in AC electrical systems, representing the product of voltage and current. It differs from watts (real power) in AC systems where voltage and current may not be in phase.
History
Volt-ampere became important with the development of AC electrical systems, where the distinction between apparent power and real power became crucial. It provided a way to specify the total power capacity of AC electrical equipment regardless of power factor.
Current Use
Volt-amperes are used for AC electrical equipment ratings, transformer specifications, and electrical system design. They're standard for UPS ratings, transformer capacity, and AC electrical equipment where apparent power is more relevant than real power.
Kilocalorie per Hour (kcal/h)
Definition
Kilocalorie per hour (kcal/h) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one kilocalorie per hour. It's commonly used in heating and cooling applications, providing a practical scale for thermal power measurements.
History
Kilocalorie per hour became important in heating and cooling system design, providing a convenient scale for thermal power measurements. It was particularly useful in applications where thermal energy rates needed to be expressed in familiar calorie-based units.
Current Use
Kilocalorie per hour is used in heating and cooling systems, thermal equipment ratings, and energy efficiency calculations. It's standard for thermal system specifications, heating equipment ratings, and applications where thermal power is measured in calorie-based units.

- Conversion Formula: kcal/h = VA ÷ 1.16222
- Calculation: 1 VA ÷ 1.16222 = 0.860421 kcal/h
Convert 10 Volt-Ampere to Kilocalorie per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 VA = 0.860421 kcal/h
- Conversion Formula: kcal/h = VA ÷ 1.16222
- Calculation: 10 VA ÷ 1.16222 = 8.60421 kcal/h
Convert 100 Volt-Ampere to Kilocalorie per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 VA = 0.860421 kcal/h
- Conversion Formula: kcal/h = VA ÷ 1.16222
- Calculation: 100 VA ÷ 1.16222 = 86.0421 kcal/h
Convert 1,000 Volt-Ampere to Kilocalorie per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 VA = 0.860421 kcal/h
- Conversion Formula: kcal/h = VA ÷ 1.16222
- Calculation: 1,000 VA ÷ 1.16222 = 860.421 kcal/h
