Megavolt-Amperes to Watts Converter
How to Convert Megavolt-Amperes (MVA) to Watts
To convert megavolt-amperes (MVA) to watts (W), you need to consider the power factor (PF), which relates real power (watts) to apparent power (volt-amperes). The formula is:
MVA to Watts Calculation Formula
The real power P in watts (W) is equal to the apparent power S in megavolt-amperes (MVA), multiplied by the power factor PF:
P(W) = S(MVA) × PF × 1,000,000Thus, watts are equal to megavolt-amperes multiplied by the power factor:
W = MVA × PF × 1,000,000Example Calculation
If you have an apparent power measurement of 2 MVA and a power factor of 0.85, the calculation would be:
P(W) = 2 MVA × 0.85 × 1,000,000 = 1,700,000 WFor more information, visit Volt-Amperes.
