Kilovolt = 1000 volts.
Standard welder sizes are between 5 to 500 kilovolt amperes, but micro spot welders may be as small as 1.5 kilovolt amperes. They are used in many types of industries which require precision welding.
A kilovolt (kV, not 'kv') is the SI unit for potential and potential difference (voltage), whereas the kilovolt ampere (kV.A, not'kva') is the unit for apparent power. These are quite different quantities, so you cannot change one to another -if that is what you are asking.
Kilo simply means 1000. Volt-ampere (VA) is a measure of power, similar to the watt. Volt is a measure of voltage, or electrical pressure. Voltage means electricity is available, but unless it is actually used, no current (amperes) flows, and no work (power) is done. Suppose you have a motor that needs 1000 volts to run, and when it is on it draws one ampere (amp) of current. We would say the motor supply voltage is one kilovolt. When the motor is running, we would say it uses one kilovolt-ampere (1KVA) of power (1 ampere * 1000 volts = 1000 VA or 1 KVA).
999 Volts A Kilovolt is 1000 volts.
To convert 230 volts to 1 kilovolt, you multiply by 0.001 (1 kilovolt = 1000 volts). Therefore, 230 volts is equal to 0.23 kilovolts.

At what voltage? If you know the voltage then, to get the amps those kilovolt-amps contain, you simply divide the kilovolt-amps by the voltage.

Kilovolt = 1000 volts.
kV is kilovolts, kW is kilowatts, kVA is kilovolt amps and kVAR is kilovolt-amps reactive. A common formula is kVA-squared = kW-squared + kVAR-squared.
A kilowatt is an unit of true power in an AC circuit -as measured by a wattmeter. A kilovolt ampere is an unit of apparent power in an AC circuit, which is the product of the voltage across a load by the current through it. The relationship between the two is: kilowatt = (kilovolt ampere) x (power factor of load)
