About Foot-pound per Second
Foot-pounds per second is a mechanical power rate: 1 ft·lb/s = 1.3558179483314004 W (exactly, from the international foot definition).
About Megavolt-Ampere (MVA)
One megavolt-ampere equals 1,000,000 VA. Common in transformer and grid-scale apparent-power ratings.
How to convert foot-pounds per second to megavolt-amperes (mva, unity pf)
1 foot-pound per second is equal to 0.00000135581795 megavolt-ampere (mva) when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 ft_lb_s = (1.3558179483314003 W ÷ 1,000,000 W) mva = 0.00000135581795 mva
Each foot-pound per second is defined as 1.3558179483314003 W and each megavolt-ampere (mva) as 1,000,000 W in this tool, so one ft_lb_s equals 1.3558179483314003 ÷ 1,000,000 mva = 0.00000135581795 mva.
Let d(ft_lb_s) be the numeric value in Foot-pound per Second (ft_lb_s), and d(mva) the value in Megavolt-Ampere (MVA) (mva). Then:
d(mva) = d(ft_lb_s) × (1.3558179483314003 / 1,000,000)
Equivalently, divide by how many ft_lb_s fit into one mva (watts per mva divided by watts per ft_lb_s):
d(mva) = d(ft_lb_s) ÷ 737562.14927726541646
Or: megavolt-ampere (mva) = foot-pound per second ÷ 737562.14927726541646
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 ft_lb_s to megavolt-ampere (mva)
1 ft_lb_s = 1 ft_lb_s × (1.3558179483314003/1,000,000) mva = 0.0000013558 mva
1 ft_lb_s = 1 ft_lb_s ÷ 737562.14927726541646 = 0.0000013558 mva
Intermediate watts: 1.3558179483 W
Example #2: Convert 10 ft_lb_s to megavolt-ampere (mva)
10 ft_lb_s = 10 ft_lb_s × (1.3558179483314003/1,000,000) mva = 0.0000135582 mva
10 ft_lb_s = 10 ft_lb_s ÷ 737562.14927726541646 = 0.0000135582 mva
Intermediate watts: 13.5581794833 W
Summary
To convert Foot-pound per Second to Megavolt-Ampere (MVA), multiply the value in ft_lb_s by the ratio of watts per ft_lb_s divided by watts per mva. Equivalently: value_mva = value_ft_lb_s × (1.3558179483314003 / 1000000). Numerically, 1 ft_lb_s equals 0.0000013558179483314003 mva.
