How to convert megavolt-amperes to volt-amperes

1 megavolt-amperes (MVA) is equal to 1×10^6 volt-amperes (VA). Conversely, 1 volt-amperes (VA) is equal to 1×10^-6 megavolt-amperes (MVA).

See below section for step by step unit conversion with formulas and explanations. Please refer to the table below for a list of all the Volt-Amperes to other unit conversions.

Step by step guide to convert megavolt-amperes to volt-amperes

Convert base units

Here, since the units are same, we just need to convert the metric prefix

1 Mega=1061\ Mega = 10^{6}

Substitute to calculate VA

1 MVA=106VA1\ MVA = 10^{6} VA

What is megavolt-ampere?

A megavolt-ampere (MVA) is the unit used for measuring the apparent power, S, in a circuit. In other words, apparent power, MVA, or S represents the complete amount of power that is being used in a system.

1MVA=1000kVA=1,000,000VA1 MVA = 1000 kVA = 1,000,000 VA

When referring to a circuit running on DC

P=IVP = I*V

When referring to a circuit running on AC

Pav=IpkVpk2=IrmsVrms=SP_{av} = \frac{I_{pk}*V_{pk}}{2} = I_{rms}*V_{rms} = S
