About Kilovolt-Ampere (kVA)
One kilovolt-ampere equals 1,000 VA. At unity power factor in this converter, kVA maps linearly to watts.
About Milliwatt
One milliwatt is one thousandth of a watt. Common in RF, fiber optics, and low-power electronics.
How to convert kilovolt-amperes (kva, unity pf) to milliwatts
1 kilovolt-ampere (kva) is equal to 1000000 milliwatt when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 kva = (1,000 W ÷ 0.001 W) mw = 1000000 mw
Each kilovolt-ampere (kva) is defined as 1,000 W and each milliwatt as 0.001 W in this tool, so one kva equals 1,000 ÷ 0.001 mw = 1000000 mw.
Let d(kva) be the numeric value in Kilovolt-Ampere (kVA) (kva), and d(mw) the value in Milliwatt (mw). Then:
d(mw) = d(kva) × (1,000 / 0.001)
Equivalently, divide by how many kva fit into one mw (watts per mw divided by watts per kva):
d(mw) = d(kva) ÷ 0.000001
Or: milliwatt = kilovolt-ampere (kva) ÷ 0.000001
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 kva to milliwatt
1 kva = 1 kva × (1,000/0.001) mw = 1000000 mw
1 kva = 1 kva ÷ 0.000001 = 1000000 mw
Intermediate watts: 1,000 W
Example #2: Convert 10 kva to milliwatt
10 kva = 10 kva × (1,000/0.001) mw = 10000000 mw
10 kva = 10 kva ÷ 0.000001 = 10000000 mw
Intermediate watts: 10,000 W
Summary
To convert Kilovolt-Ampere (kVA) to Milliwatt, multiply the value in kva by the ratio of watts per kva divided by watts per mw. Equivalently: value_mw = value_kva × (1000 / 0.001). Numerically, 1 kva equals 1000000 mw.
Relationship context
You are converting between apparent power at unity PF (VA) (Kilovolt-Amperes (kVA, unity PF)) and SI / decimal power (watts and prefixes) (Milliwatts). All linear values are mapped through watts first. The numeric factor is 1.000000e+6.
