Megavolt-amperes to kilovolt-amperes
Type a value in MVA to get it in kVA instantly.
100,000kVA
That's 100× as big as a neighbourhood substation, while a power station generator is 6× bigger.
What it means
How big a supply is that?
Watts, kilowatts and kvar depend on the power factor chosen above. Reference ratings are typical.
The math
How to convert MVA to kVA
To convert megavolt-amperes to kilovolt-amperes, multiply by 1,000.
Example: 100 MVA × 1,000 = 100,000 kVA.
In the other direction, 1 kVA = 0.001 MVA.
The watts, kilowatts and kvar below assume 0.8 (generator rating). Change it above and every number updates.
