A "kilo" means 1000. So a kilowatt is a thousand watts. The same applies to voltage. A kilovolt is 1000 volts. Wattage is the measurement of "electrical power". Voltage is the measurement of "electrical potential" See "Ohms Laws" for more explanation of electrical terms.'

A watt is a the power dissipated by 1 amp of current through 1 ohm of resistance and is represented by the formula P=E*I

A kilowatt 1,000 watts.

What does difference between Watt and Volt ampare?

No difference in case of DC. In case of AC Watt refers to Power which includes the factor of power factor. VA does not include power factor.


Why do you rate a dc machine in watt but a transformer in kilo volt-ampere?

The difference between watts and volt-amperes is due to the relative phase angle, or power factor, between voltage and current. In a DC system, the two are in phase. In an AC system, with only resistance, the two are also in phase. Add capacitance or inductance and the phase angle changes.


How do you measure volts in kva rating?

KVA means kilo volt amps or kilo Watts. A watt = 1 volt X 1 Amp. Kilo is shorthand for 1000. A watt is a measure of power, which is voltage x amps. Therefore it is not possible to relate voltage to KVA without additional information. Formula wise the above is correct but if you really need the voltage, it can be measured with a volt meter or VOM by putting the test leads across the output terminals of the KVA device.

What is the relationship between a volt an amp and a watt?

A volt is the unit of electric potential, an amp is the unit of electric current, and a watt is the unit of power. The relationship between them is described by the equation: Power (in watts) = Voltage (in volts) x Current (in amps).

How many watts in 845 hz?

There is no way to answer that. A watt is one volt times one amp. A hertz is one cycle per second. There is no correlation between them.There is no way to answer that. A watt is one volt times one amp. A hertz is one cycle per second. There is no correlation between them.
