Best Answer

This describes what is known as the 'fault level' at a particular point in an electricity transmission or distribution system, expressed in megavolt amperes, enabling the theoretical value of fault current to be calculated at that point in the system, in order to ensure that the relevant switchgear is capable of interrupting that level of fault current.

How do you convert volts to mva?

Do you mean 'megavolt ampere' (MV.A) or 'millivolt ampere' (mV.A)? By using the incorrect symbol ('mva'), this is not clear.To determine the apparent power, in volt amperes, you divide the true power, in watts, by the power factor of the load. One volt ampere is one-millionth of a megavolt ampere ('MV.A' -not 'mva') -assuming you don't mean 'millivolt ampere' ('mV.A')!

How do you convert mw to mva?

You would have to know the Power Factor, normally designated PF. MVA x PF = MW. If the PF is unity then MVA = MW. A PF of UNITY suggest the load is purely resistive with neither capacitive nor inductive components in the load or source. Of course this can mean such components have been balanced artificially.


How transformer converts mva to kv?

Transformer does not convert MVA to KV. MVA is unit of power, where as KV is unit of Voltage. Transformer converts voltgae. Step up or Step down.


What is mva?

In electrical engineering it can be millivolt amperes, unless it's MVA then it is megavolt amperes. Such as in the use of large transformers.
