How to convert kVA to VA

How to convert apparent power from kilovolt-amps (kVA) to volt-amps (VA).

kVA to VA calculation formula

The apparent power S in volt-amps (VA) is equal to 1000 times the apparent power S in kilovolt-amps (kVA):

S(VA) =  1000 × S(kVA)

 

So volt-amps are equal to 1000 times kilovolt-amps:

VA = 1000 × kilovolt-amps

or

VA = 1000 × kVA

Example

What is the apparent power in volt-amps when the apparent power in kilovolt-amps is 3 kVA?

Solution:

S = 1000 × 3kVA = 3000VA
