About Kilovolt-Ampere (kVA)
One kilovolt-ampere equals 1,000 VA. At unity power factor in this converter, kVA maps linearly to watts.
About Ton of Refrigeration (TR)
One ton of refrigeration (TR) equals 12,000 BTU/h (IT), approximately 3,516.85 W. It is widely used in HVAC and refrigeration sizing.
How to convert kilovolt-amperes (kva, unity pf) to tons of refrigeration (tr)
1 kilovolt-ampere (kva) is equal to 0.284345136094 ton of refrigeration (tr) when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 kva = (1,000 W ÷ 3,516.8528420666667 W) tr = 0.284345136094 tr
Each kilovolt-ampere (kva) is defined as 1,000 W and each ton of refrigeration (tr) as 3,516.8528420666667 W in this tool, so one kva equals 1,000 ÷ 3,516.8528420666667 tr = 0.284345136094 tr.
Let d(kva) be the numeric value in Kilovolt-Ampere (kVA) (kva), and d(tr) the value in Ton of Refrigeration (TR) (tr). Then:
d(tr) = d(kva) × (1,000 / 3,516.8528420666667)
Equivalently, divide by how many kva fit into one tr (watts per tr divided by watts per kva):
d(tr) = d(kva) ÷ 3.51685284206667
Or: ton of refrigeration (tr) = kilovolt-ampere (kva) ÷ 3.51685284206667
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 kva to ton of refrigeration (tr)
1 kva = 1 kva × (1,000/3,516.8528420666667) tr = 0.2843451361 tr
1 kva = 1 kva ÷ 3.51685284206667 = 0.2843451361 tr
Intermediate watts: 1,000 W
Example #2: Convert 10 kva to ton of refrigeration (tr)
10 kva = 10 kva × (1,000/3,516.8528420666667) tr = 2.8434513609 tr
10 kva = 10 kva ÷ 3.51685284206667 = 2.8434513609 tr
Intermediate watts: 10,000 W
Summary
To convert Kilovolt-Ampere (kVA) to Ton of Refrigeration (TR), multiply the value in kva by the ratio of watts per kva divided by watts per tr. Equivalently: value_tr = value_kva × (1000 / 3516.8528420666667). Numerically, 1 kva equals 0.28434513609399514 tr.
Relationship context
Both units are apparent power at unity PF (VA). Conversions use fixed watt factors, so results stay consistent with the definitions in this converter. The factor from Kilovolt-Ampere (kVA) to Ton of Refrigeration (TR) is 2.843451e-1 (1 kva = 0.28434513609399514 tr).
