In order to convert amps, short for amperes, into kVA (Kilovolt-ampere), current in amps and the voltage in volts has to be multiplied and then divided by 1000. Mathematically, kVA = Current (in amp) * Voltage (in volts) / 1000.
An amp is a unit of electric current, while a kVA (Kilovolt-ampere) is a unit of apparent power of an electrical circuit; hence it's not possible to directly convert amps into kVA without going through the accompanying calculations. Apparent power, denoted by "S" and measured by kVA, is equal to real power for a direct current (DC) circuit. However, for alternating current (AC) circuits, the real power and the apparent power differs by the ratio known as "power factor".Learn More
In order to convert pounds into kilograms, divide the number of pounds by 2.2046. For example, 3 pounds is equivalent to 1.3608 kilograms.Full Answer >
In order to convert milligrams to milliliters, one must know the density of the substance; if the density is measured in milligrams per milliliter, the milligrams of mass of the object being measured are divided by the density of the substance to determine the volume in millimeters. Because density is generally not listed in milligrams per milliliter, it is likely that some calculations must be done to convert the density into the appropriate units.Full Answer >
One meter is equal to 1.0936 yards, so in order to convert 300 meters into yards, simply multiply by 1.0936 to get 328.084 yards. Because the metric system is based on a 10 multiplier system, it is easy to use this simple conversion to calculate other metric lengths in terms of yards. For instance, 328.084 yards is equal to 3,000 decimeters, 30,000 centimeters and 0.3 kilometers.Full Answer >
There are 3.517 kilowatts in a ton of refrigeration, so in order to convert kW to tons, divide the number of kW by 3.517. One ton of refrigeration is approximately 12,000 BTUs, or British thermal units, which is the rating system of air conditioning units in many English-speaking countries outside of the United States.Full Answer >
