What Is a Apparent Power Converter?
An apparent power converter converts between VA, kVA, and MVA.
Supported Units
- VA — Volt-ampere. Unit of apparent power.
- kVA — 1000 VA. Transformers.
- MVA — 1,000,000 VA. Large equipment.
How Does Apparent Power Converter Work?
1 kVA = 1000 VA. 1 MVA = 1,000,000 VA. S = sqrt(P^2 + Q^2).

Benefits
- Instant Multi-Unit Conversion
- Multiple Unit Systems
- 100% Free to Use
- Works on Any Device
Common Mistakes
- VA (apparent) vs W (real) equal only at PF=1.0
- VA vs VAR: apparent vs reactive
- Transformers rated in kVA/MVA not kW
- Only applies to AC circuits
Professional Tips
- Transformers rated in kVA because losses depend on current
- P = S x power factor
- 100 kVA at 0.8 PF = 80 kW real power
- UPS rated in kVA
