Convert hectojoule/second to kilovolt ampere
Please provide values below to convert hectojoule/second [hJ/s] to kilovolt ampere [kV*A], or Convert kilovolt ampere to hectojoule/second.
How to Convert Hectojoule/second to Kilovolt Ampere
1 hJ/s = 0.1 kV*A
Example: convert 15 hJ/s to kV*A:
15 hJ/s = 15 × 0.1 kV*A = 1.5 kV*A

Hectojoule/second
Hectojoule per second (hJ/s) is a unit of power representing one hundred joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The unit hJ/s is derived from the SI unit joule (J) and the metric prefix hecto- (h), used to express larger quantities of energy transfer rate, particularly in scientific and engineering contexts. It has been used as an alternative to watts in certain fields, though watts are more standard.
Current Use
Hectojoule per second is occasionally used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify power, especially in contexts where larger energy transfer rates are involved. However, the watt (W) remains the standard SI unit for power, and hJ/s is less common in everyday use.
Kilovolt Ampere
A kilovolt ampere (kV·A) is a unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit, equal to 1,000 volt-amperes, representing the product of voltage in kilovolts and current in amperes.
History/Origin
The kilovolt ampere emerged as a standard unit for measuring apparent power in electrical engineering, especially with the adoption of the SI system, to quantify the capacity of electrical equipment such as transformers and generators.
Current Use
Today, the kilovolt ampere is widely used in power systems to specify the capacity of electrical devices, particularly in the context of transformers, generators, and power distribution systems, facilitating the design and analysis of electrical networks.
