About Metric Horsepower (CV)
CV (cheval-vapeur) is a metric horsepower unit equivalent to 735.49875 W, commonly used in European market specs.
About Megavolt-Ampere (MVA)
One megavolt-ampere equals 1,000,000 VA. Common in transformer and grid-scale apparent-power ratings.
How to convert metric horsepower (cv) to megavolt-amperes (mva, unity pf)
1 metric horsepower (cv) is equal to 0.00073549875 megavolt-ampere (mva) when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 cv = (735.49875 W ÷ 1,000,000 W) mva = 0.00073549875 mva
Each metric horsepower (cv) is defined as 735.49875 W and each megavolt-ampere (mva) as 1,000,000 W in this tool, so one cv equals 735.49875 ÷ 1,000,000 mva = 0.00073549875 mva.
Let d(cv) be the numeric value in Metric Horsepower (CV) (cv), and d(mva) the value in Megavolt-Ampere (MVA) (mva). Then:
d(mva) = d(cv) × (735.49875 / 1,000,000)
Equivalently, divide by how many cv fit into one mva (watts per mva divided by watts per cv):
d(mva) = d(cv) ÷ 1359.62161730390449
Or: megavolt-ampere (mva) = metric horsepower (cv) ÷ 1359.62161730390449
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 cv to megavolt-ampere (mva)
1 cv = 1 cv × (735.49875/1,000,000) mva = 0.0007354988 mva
1 cv = 1 cv ÷ 1359.62161730390449 = 0.0007354988 mva
Intermediate watts: 735.49875 W
Example #2: Convert 10 cv to megavolt-ampere (mva)
10 cv = 10 cv × (735.49875/1,000,000) mva = 0.0073549875 mva
10 cv = 10 cv ÷ 1359.62161730390449 = 0.0073549875 mva
Intermediate watts: 7,354.9875 W
Summary
To convert Metric Horsepower (CV) to Megavolt-Ampere (MVA), multiply the value in cv by the ratio of watts per cv divided by watts per mva. Equivalently: value_mva = value_cv × (735.49875 / 1000000). Numerically, 1 cv equals 0.0007354987499999999 mva.
Relationship context
You are converting between mechanical power (horsepower, ft·lb/s) (Metric Horsepower (CV)) and apparent power at unity PF (VA) (Megavolt-Amperes (MVA, unity PF)). All linear values are mapped through watts first. The numeric factor is 7.354987e-4.
